Pros

When I make mistakes, people help me learn and grow from it, and don't focus on blaming me. When I succeed, people help celebrate my success. This culture lays the groundwork for moving fast, failing fast, and continuous iteration which I think is key for success. Many companies stop caring about their employees' satisfaction as they scale. HubSpot is scaling like crazy and makes sure to invest proportionally in employee satisfaction. I think this will be instrumental in keeping HubSpot as a top destination for talent. Great product with extreme potential. I feel like my manager cares about finding work for me that interests me, while addressing the needs of the business. I have received great mentorship. Many fun / social opportunities (like mystery dinners, where employees are randomly matched with execs and share a meal together) Awesome facilities: showers, gym, meditation room, free kitchen, tea-making robot. Fantastic infrastructure and support for engineers. Clear communication about requirements for career growth.

Cons

401k matching is weak, some flashy benefits offered but 401k matching lags behind.

This is such a thoughtful review, thank you for making the time to share such detail about what you love about working here and the detailed feedback and advice for us, which seems spot on to me. I love that you feel your manager deeply cares about you, and I appreciate that you called out how much we care about employees as we scale, because it's absolutely true. To your advice, I promise that won't change as we scale and grow. And on life-work fit, Laura Parrott is leading some really wonderful work with the Energy Project that I think will really help us move the needle on life-work integration next year, keep your eye on her work there to keep us honest on how it's working and evolving. Thanks as ever for the feedback and for all you do to help the company grow! -Katie

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.
