Pros

* Really dynamic work environment * Great benefits * Extremely talented co-workers * Committed to creating a diverse workplace

Cons

* Culture skews young * Very cliquish as a result * Get sideways looks if you have a kids and have to attend to that * Low-to-no process can make it difficult to apply needed processes * It's rapid promotions means that it's a roll of the dice when it comes to the quality of your manager

Thanks for sharing your perspective--I think on the kids side of things we have made huge strides over the last few years in terms of overall inclusion and flexibility, but agree with you that we have a lot of internal promotions, it's one of the many reasons we've invested more in manager communities and education for folks. Thanks for sharing your perspective and for spending time at HubSpot, really appreciate your candor and feedback. -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.
