      Pros

      Opportunity – Working at HubSpot is entirely what you make it. You are given responsibility and in many positions, a lot of autonomy. Though what you do with them, is entirely up to you. There are few gifts (outside of the kitchen - ChubSpot), most things here are earned. You are expected to hustle, work hard, and solve for the customer. If you do those things, there are few limits. Transparency - Want to learn how a SaaS product company actually works? You can see all the gory details here. The level of transparency and the willingness of the C-level folks to not shy away from even the toughest questions, but actually engage any and every HubSpotter is truly exceptional. People – There are so many smart people here who are just really, really good at what they do and entirely willing to share their knowledge. Benefits - The benefits here are ridiculous and just keep coming: ESPP, 401K match, on site gym (that's small but awesome), paid sabbatical, the use good judgment policy (yes, this is a benefit), free (great) beer, maternity / paternity leave, amazing coffee, solid Blue Cross Blue Shield with deductible coverage, and more free beer on the second floor.

      Cons

      It is very easy to get caught up in working too much here. The people who really excel, learn how to not thrash, but actually be productive with all that effort, and when they can and should dial it back.

      World-class product, world-class culture

      Pros

      Before joining HubSpot, I had very high expectations for the people, product, and culture. All of my expectations have either been met or exceeded. I work with extremely talented, intelligent, and motivated people that individually produce more than entire teams at other companies that I have interacted with. Beyond that, I have not yet encountered an instance of ego or political domination. The company is very open minded and receptive to criticism and innovation. Considering how large HubSpot is, it's also a very flat organization. For example, I sit just a couple desks away from Brian Halligan (CEO). He uses the same desk furniture as everyone else and because he sits out in the open, he and all of the execs at HubSpot are extremely accessible. I have an immediate team of 3 people and I correspond with 8-10 people on a daily basis. This allows me to have true autonomy and influence over my work. We are building a legitimately world-class product and it feels awesome to be a part of that. The energy at HubSpot is extremely positive; the company is doing well and you can feel it. On my first day, I was immediately given all of the tools that I needed to complete my work (regardless of cost). HubSpot believes in enabling you to do what you do best by giving you access to everything that you need. All of the culture-related promises are true. There are no designated work hours (at least for my role), unlimited vacation, the office is incredible, free food is everywhere (and beer / wine), there are dozens of events every week that the company pays for, you name it. Working at HubSpot is challenging in the best ways possible. I have never grown so much, so quickly in my life. I go home happy every day and I wake up ready to get after it again.

      Cons

      HubSpot maintains a very fast-paced, results-oriented (read: "work hard, play hard") environment. They're very diligent about recognizing high performers and the criteria surrounding recognition is totally pure (it isn't political). This is great when you're the one being recognized, but it also places a lot of social pressure on the people in the audience, thus creating a subculture of competition where you may always be chasing after that next "quick win". A byproduct of this is a high level of self-motivation and team-driven motivation. While I personally have noticed my work-life balance improve, I do feel that some people may work too much, and it may be a result of this aspect of the environment. If you generally don't like your job or you don't enjoy "taking your work home with you", you probably won't fit in. For example, many HubSpotters are friends or roommates with each other outside of work. Beyond that, if you don't produce legitimate results or you don't know what you're talking about, people will call you on it. This is only a con for a certain portion of the working population though.

      High Stress & High Sales Turnover

      Pros

      Very cool company that is truly going places. The software is excellent and the C-level guys are very transparent about everything from financials to where they envision the company to be in 5, 10, 20+ years. They recently added a much larger fully stocked kitchen and they do make other attempts to make the work life more enjoyable.

      Cons

      If you are in sales, it is extremely stressful. You should just wave goodbye to having a life, because your life from 7am to 7pm is now 100% HubSpot. The monthly quota is very difficult to meet, and if you have four months sub-quota, then you are at risk of being put on the performance plan. The turnover is high and they recently made it more difficult to get promoted. Also, they try to sell the "no vacation policy" as an opportunity to responsibly take unlimited amount of vacation. However, since you are on a monthly quota, you basically find yourself NEVER being able to take vacation. Fortunately, they recognized this. But the way they combatted this was by increasing the monthly quota and saying once you've been there for a year then you can take two months at 50% quota (and still get paid 100%...if you hit your number). Ask about 80% of the sales reps there, and they will tell you that this job is insanely stressful and will take over your life.
