Pros

Sharp coworkers, healthy and supportive environment, many opportunities for growth & learning, good compensation, very low politics, comfortable office. Engineering group has a great set of tools to be productive. Product organization means each person can really have significant impact on a part of the products.

Cons

Small teams means real responsibility on everyone's shoulders. There has been a lot of focus and investment in D&I over last 2 years but it still a work-in-progress to be where everyone wants it to be.

Thanks for spending 5+ years with our team, I'm grateful for both your time and energy and for your feedback here. I love how you articulated potential impact, and agree with your callout that with great autonomy comes great responsibility for impact. And you're spot on we still have more work to do on D&I--I think and hope people will really feel the difference in the coming year, and I know our leadership team is personally committed to moving the needle here. Thanks for the feedback and for all you do at HubSpot. Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
