HubSpot reviews

Some Hubs were downright toxic and chaotic, including mine. Asking around, many designers felt the same issues across teams and legs - lack of management support, endless friction with PMs over decision making and innovation, engineering partners who also felt empowered to do whatever they wanted. So much autonomy that several teams would be working to solve the same problem, and even when made very obvious and transparent to leadership, they would do nothing to intervene and plan more efficiently. Career path and expectations were interpreted very differently team to team. Leveling was a mess, difference between senior 1 and 2 ambiguous at best, and no matter what anyone says comp is way below market rate when compared to YOE and scope. If you live in a major city, you are making minimum 20% less than peers. I’ve had managers openly tell me that HubSpot is OK with disappointing people with comp because they don’t want people who “only care about the money” Management at the lead level was on the immature side, meaning afraid to make decisions, unwilling to intervene in team conflict, and didn’t communicate well with each other. I had high hopes for HubSpot, and though there are fantastic and smart people there, ultimately it wasn’t the best experience for me. I think it greatly depends on where you’re at in your career and what your work style is that will make or break it.

They say they're inclusive. They're 100% NOT. If you're on the far left politically you'll love it here. They'll continue to feed you what you want to hear and you won't have to think about the deeper layer of ANY of your views. It'll be very predictable. Pride Month, Black History (I'll get to more of that), and now out of state abortions funded by the company (I wonder what other incentives are being left out for that to be funded...) If you're on the right you'll hate it here unless you're aware of how this happens at many tech companies already and you just want to live with it, or if you want to be a voice on the inside since the loudest here is all the radical left... basically everyone stays silent and when there's a hint of they're not radically left they'll ping each other one on one. I've done it with colleagues myself. If you're in the middle and like to rationally look at each issue that comes up on a case by case basis (and not just side with how the Dem. or Rep. party would view it) then you'll be able to tolerate the rare moments when the left gets it right on some issues like racial biases but will also hate it here on many. It's all virtue signaling and painful even when you cry out. Why do they not even really care about race unless it's a leftist virtue signal? See below. EXAMPLE: BODILY AUTONOMY - When the C19 was all happening HubSpot SENT OUT A MANDATE for all employees to get the sh0t EVEN IF YOU'RE 100% REMOTE. And we had like a few weeks to do it with the timeline of both sh0ts and when they said we had to be fully V*ccin8ted by. - Many employees, including black employees who HubSpot showed love to during "BLM season" mentioned the racial history on healthcare and it didn't matter. Get it, get a religious exemption, a medical exemption, or leave the company. - NOW -- With roe v wade reversed, in record time (just a few business days) there's already a public linkedin post on bodily autonomy and how this deeply saddens Chief People Officer Katie Burke and emails in our inboxes on how they're giving $2500 for employees to get out of state abortions. Katie Burke was not visibly deeply saddened when they were forcing everyone to decide between their bodily autonomy or their jobs. I hope one day this company and this nation will not just have echo chambers of left and right wing politics that control all the decision making with little expansive thought. It gets especially crazy on the radical left where it overtakes everything just like I'm experiencing in this company like never before.
