Biased culture & opportunities depending on one's situation & role - Engineer HubSpot Employee Review

Engineer

Recommend

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Supportive of different people's work-life balance. - Frequent company and team AMAs, especially since COVID - Lots of support, merit, and acknowledgement if you're an engineer, PM, or designer within the product org. Other roles, not at all. - People do care about movements such as BLM, mental health, COVID

Cons

- Prides themselves on the HubSpot culture code (HEART), but HubSpot really isn't "Humble". The product team has a very marketing-esque (with cheering) monthly meeting. And there's a lot of hype to promote HubSpot. Humble? Not the slightest. - No visibility into salary bands and career growth. (Hint - not Transparent; re: T in the culture code). Other tech companies do this better. - Promotions and seniority is inconsistent throughout the organization. Product org keeps changing and they promote unqualified people to management roles, but are slow to promote others. - WAY TOO much change. - Benefits don't match up to other tech companies (pre-COVID) - Product teams often don't communicate, or do so after the fact. - Performance review cycle is inconsistent for roles. It's not "peer" feedback when that feedback is optional.

HubSpot Response

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear we've fallen short in a few key areas--we are doing a ton on career growth transparency and clarity that I think/hope addresses some of your concerns. Right now it doesn't included standardizing peer feedback, but will flag to our team for consideration. Appreciate your honesty here and will work to address some of the concerns you outlined. -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.
