Pros

The people at the individual contributor level

Cons

We have had more and more benefits taken from us this year. We no longer have unlimited PTO nor our week of rest. The company still posted all over social media about it even though we have to take from our own limited PTO now to take that week off. Almost the full company worked still.

We’ve seen the feedback on our recent post about Week of Rest and appreciate the chance to clarify. This year, we made a shift — instead of a shared, company-wide break, we offered employees more flexibility to take time off when it made the most sense for them and their teams. Many still chose to take that same week to recharge, but our post didn’t reflect that change as clearly as it could have. We know how important time off is — for rest, mental health, and showing up as our best selves. We’re glad so many HubSpotters were able to unplug, and we’re deeply appreciative of those who continued supporting our customers and colleagues during that time. We’ll be more mindful moving forward to make sure what we share publicly reflects the full picture. You can always learn more about our benefits, including Flexible Time Off on our Careers Site: https://www.hubspot.com/careers/benefits Thanks for sharing your feedback and all that you do.

Pros

Positive Culture: The people and immediate team members are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive. Work-Life Flexibility: A true 100% remote work environment that offers great day-to-day flexibility. Solid Perks on Paper: The benefits package explicitly includes an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

The "Unlimited PTO" Trap: While the company advertises unlimited PTO, it is impossible to take without penalty. If you take time off, you are still strictly required to make up every single call you missed while you were gone to hit your monthly metrics. Declining Direction & High Turnover: The company has faced a very rough year and is heading in the wrong direction. Morale is incredibly low, and talent is actively draining from the organization—several people are resigning entirely, going on medical leave due to stress, or desperately trying to transfer to different internal teams. Unrealistic, Extreme CSM Metrics: Customer Success Managers are being pushed to the brink by unattainable, rigid KPIs. The role has shifted from strategic relationship management to a high-volume, transactional grind. Current monthly expectations include: 80 calls per month 76% connected call rate for low-usage accounts 50% engagement rate required for at-risk accounts Stagnant Compensation: Despite the extreme increase in workload, micromanagement, and pressure, the annual raise for CSMs this year was under 2%, which fails to align with basic cost-of-living adjustments.
