Pros

Very dynamic place. Probably the best managed engineering org I've seen. They've found a balance between process and productivity. Their infrastructure is top notch - you wont have to worry about solving silly infra problems that have been solved a million times before. People are nice. I've actually became friends with some of my co-workers, and we still stay in touch. Their product is great, and customers love it. You actually get to interact with customers as much as you have time for (UX tests, actual dinners with customers, annual conference) If you haven't so far, at HubSpot you will quickly learn what is actually important when it comes to making software. HubSpot is no one trick pony. There is plenty of innovation, new exciting things, and they MOVE FAST!

Cons

HubSpot is big on culture and this can be a bit overwhelming. You might feel like you are losing your own identity to it, or that your identity doesn't matter, and it is all about how well you work in the HubSpot system. Whether this is a good thing or not would make for an interesting discussion, but their approach works very well for them.

Thanks for being a HubSpot alum, and for sharing your feedback with us-I really appreciate it! The goal is definitely to do the positive things you outlined, but to also ensure we are really thinking about culture add over time and creating a culture where everyone can truly be themselves and uniquely so at HubSpot, so it sounds like based on your experience we have some continued work to do there, but appreciate the feedback and you spending time with us and praising engineering leadership--I would have to agree they are pretty incredible. Thanks for your review and come visit us again soon! -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.
