Pros

- the tech stack is interesting and with the smaller teams, one can learn interesting things

Cons

I’ve worked at the company as both an intern for multiple periods (2018, 2019) and as a full timer from 2020-2023 and I can attest to the very negative turn in culture at this company. I raised concerns about my manager which were ignored by upper leadership and it resulted in multiple retaliations, an internal whistleblower investigation, and ultimately short after the investigation’s conclusion, was let go ( although they made it a point to let me know they do not retaliate against employees who file whistleblower complaints) - if you are neurodivergent, not able-bodied, a person of color, a woman, etc my strong recommendation would be to avoid this company like the plague. If you do not conform, you will be sidelined and most likely let go eventually. I know of a few former employees that have really bad interactions with this company behind close door. Please be careful and consider other options

Sorry to hear of your (very) negative experience at HubSpot and specifically just want to note that any form of retaliation violated our Code of Use Good Judgment. With regard to your advice to senior management, we are investing pretty significantly in this space and doing more of it, so I hope that will create meaningful improvements. Again, sorry to hear of your experience. -Katie

Pros

You get a middling job that will pay the bills and work remotely that will give you an excuse to hide from disrespectful or moderately competent coworkers. You get to work against other teams and compete to be better than all the rest, the best like no one ever was. You might get to work with a leader that doesn't assign you the same task also assigned to several others, unbeknownst to you. You can take unlimited vacation and fall behind your co-workers on their way to a promotion before you, even though you completed everything in good order. You get a high chance of taking on work that will not get recognized because the leader that designed the project was confused and can't understand if there's any business value. You might still have some of the benefits advertised by the time you start. You might have a chance to switch teams or move internally if leadership thinks a new shiny title and rebranding an existing role are important in the next year.

Cons

This is a complete bureaucracy now. Any merit based teams are few and far between. Those teams are also probably not hiring, as they are being forced to conform or actively being managed out by being given unrealistic expectations. Culture, teamwork, and comradery are all rapidly declining as teams feel pit against each to produce.

Pros

Great company name to have on your resume, good benefits, WFH flexibility

Cons

I'm not sure how HubSpot is ranked so high on best places to work, the culture (at least on the corporate sales side) is hands down, the worst I have ever seen. Unfortunately, a lot of the success at HubSpot comes down to 1. your territory and 2. your manager. If either, or both of those are lacking, you're in trouble. Product has potential in the enterprise space, but there is a long way to go. Management measures "enterprise" (which are really mid market) reps on a monthly quota which in "enterprise" sales, is unrealistic. Leadership also recently rolled out what's called "breakfast club" for reps that are below 70% of their monthly number. Basically, that entails sending an email every Friday to your manager, director, and VP explaining why you missed your number, what you are doing to improve for next month, and laying out all of your KPIs and metrics. This means you can hit 400% of your number one month, then 68% of your number the next month, and you will still be put in breakfast club. Love being micro-managed? HubSpot's your place. There is close to no onboarding when you start, and you are expected to be a pro in all of HubSpot's "hubs" meaning Sales, Marketing, Service, Operations, and CMS. In regards to parental leave- YES, you have 16 weeks which is wonderful HOWEVER- be prepared to ramp back up within weeks or you will be put on PIP. HubSpot does a great job hyping up the 16 week leave but what they don't mention is the ramp period when you get back. Beware. HubSpot also takes Woke Culture to the next level and if you're not bought in, you're an outcast. All in all, I would strongly, strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
