Pros

Salary & benefits are good, great colleagues, clear high level strategy

Cons

Decreasing work life balance, culture shifts (PTO rules stricter, less DI&B focus, stricter performance ratings, much more hierarchical). Promotions getting increasingly harder and criteria are vague, especially jumping levels (from ICs to Managers to Directors to VPs).

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s great to read that you enjoy your colleagues, and find our strategy clear. We acknowledge some of the culture evolution you’ve seen as an employee who has been here for over 5 years. We’ve definitely seen more structure and processes put in place as HubSpot has doubled in size over the last 5 years. What remains a constant is our commitment to growth for all employees. The good news is that more clarity on promotion criteria and job levelling is coming soon, but in the meantime, we’d recommend connecting with your team’s leaders such as your manager and director to get further clarity on the criteria to help get you to the next level. Thanks again for all that you do! - The Marketing Leadership 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.
