Pros

Great benefits, decent comp, fully remote Good if you're looking for a break from the chaos of working at a firm. Great department if you are looking for a 9-5 where you can leave work at the office.

Cons

Team has grown more vertically since recent leadership turnover. Leadership is adding more layers of clueless middle management. Promotions seem to be a factor of how much face time you have with leadership (common everywhere). This feeds the cycle of promotions based on your political positioning - not a great look for a company that tries so hard to reduce bias in hiring/promo decisions. Micromanagement seems to be increasing as well as the company is moving towards a "high performance culture" that has yet to be clearly defined.

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear this has been your experience. Our goal is that every employee - at every level - has a fair experience and growth path, as well as ensuring that we have an equitable promotion process. We take what you’re talking about here very seriously and have flagged this to our leadership team - in the meantime we’d recommend reaching out to your manager if you don’t already have a growth conversation scheduled to figure out a growth plan. Thank you for all that you do for HubSpot and for the courage to share your feedback. - The People Team

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.
