Pros

HubSpot is great at supporting a healthy work/life balance. They're very thoughtful when it comes to putting in place programs that improve employee quality of life. The people are amazingly smart and it's great to learn new things all the time.

Cons

Engineering pay is a little bit low for industry standards at big tech companies. I started during COVID and it feels like I still haven't quite cracked the shell of the larger org. I think that is more a product of being fully remote and never meeting teammates vs something HubSpot specific, but I do feel rather detached from my team.

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.
