Terrible leadership, no direction, not enough food to go around for the sales people, they overhired and it feels like being part of a once amazing ship that's now sinking

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re glad to hear you value the product and the people — two things we’re incredibly proud of at HubSpot. At the same time, we hear your concerns and want to acknowledge them. We’ve been navigating some big shifts over the past year, from macroeconomic changes to leadership changes.
We’re focused on making smart, long-term decisions for our business and our people, and we know that includes being transparent about the “why” behind those decisions and how they impact teams.
We’re grateful for your honesty and for everything you do to help HubSpot grow. - The Sales Leadership Team
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.
