HubSpot reviews

-Absolutely no work-life balance. If you are looking to devote your life to something - this may be your nirvana. If you have friends, family, other hobbies and/or a relationship you care about outside of HubSpot, good luck maintaining that while working here. If you're not physically in the office, you're expected to be working at all times. Everyone acts like everything is life or death. It's inbound marketing software, not an emergency room. -No structure. If you like to do your own thing and are very entrepreneurial, you may enjoy this. Policies and company direction can change day to day and you may be working in marketing one day, in product the next. -No HR department. Good luck if you have issues with your manager. -Unlimited Vacation Policy = No vacation time. In Sales you have to be there over a year, making your number every month to even get a week off. -No reimbursement/discount for parking or T passes. -Insane turnover. The past year of acquistions, one in particular, has brought more change than HubSpot can handle. Many long time employees (particularly on the developer side) have left in frustration as the new world order came in and rolled over everything. Anyone who was critical of this was eliminated or left because they were so miserable.

Burn-out culture! If you care about having a personal life and your mental health, please avoid at all cost. The micromanagement is like anything I’ve seen before and is mentally exhausting. Strong emphasis on KPIs regardless of if you’re hitting your quota or not. My entire team is absolutely terrified to miss quota and the pressure is insane. Don’t even think about taking time off if you’re in sales. They have a yearly “recharge” week in July (really they just give you an extra couple of days in July to make it 1 week) and that is the only time off you’re expected to take. The HEART culture is a myth and I have experienced 0 Empathy so far at HubSpot. Good luck to anyone thinking of joining!
