Breakneck growth, but at what cost?

Pros

- Company still walks the walk on work-life balance and DI&B

Cons

The company is hiring new engineers at a breakneck pace and putting a huge amount of stress on our onboarding, mentorship, and management capabilities. There are simply not enough qualified managers to oversee these new teams, and existing ones are overburdened and burnt out. We are still waiting to see what changes the company makes to compensation in March, but the lack of communication and transparency throughout the process has shown a lack of concern for employees who are on the fence about whether this is all worth it. I can only imagine how it is for those not fortunate enough to be paid as highly as engineers and don't know whether they'll be paid a livable wage in light of ever increasing cost of living.

It has lost its luster

Pros

HubSpot continues to be a great transparent company that really strives to listen to what their employees have to say and work to make changes. I've grown so much during my time at HubSpot, and because of that experience I would strongly recommend the company to someone who is just starting out as a software engineer.

Cons

I've been at HubSpot for over 5 years. HubSpot has been focusing so much on growing the engineering team that they spend little time figuring out how to value their more senior engineers. HubSpot has not been scaling salaries with the new remote market. Additionally, they don't really factor in tenure when considering total comp, in effect I get the same comp if not less than a technical lead that just joined the org. This has lead to many tenured engineers leaving the company to work for remote companies that give them 20% raises and better benefits, and I'm strongly considering doing that myself. The culture has also been hit very hard by the pandemic. I respect what the team has been trying to do, but I can't take another awkward zoom culture event. The fun parties and off sites are mostly gone in favor of the socially distanced corporate office party. My last con is the workload. Given the growth we've had recently we've been hiring new engineers and spinning up new projects and teams left and right. This, along with the recent high turnover of more tenured engineers, has resulted in teams that formed with a majority new members. On top of that, every team has on average two "business critical" projects they are working on that involve multiple teams. As a result I'm juggling way too many things.

Pros

Great company culture, great product

Cons

Horribly criminally low base pay and commission pay, they know everyone wants to work here so they aren't afraid to pay you low and work you into the ground, they'll just replace you, high turnover
