Pros

• Remote first working model • Team of coworkers who are generous and kind • Competitive Pay (for new hires) • 401(k) and HSA matching

Cons

• Inexperienced managers are given leadership roles to more experienced direct reports. I understand that there is value in allowing an IC to grow into a team lead role, but it is very evident that the new managers lack experience in people management. Perhaps a new people leader should receive one direct report first before managing 4+ ICs. When I took the offer to join this company, I was excited to work under a highly regarded leader who was well versed, only to be traded under the leadership of a former peer. The new manager's leadership style is dictative, aggressive, deeply unempathetic, and immature at best. Work/Life balance is not evident, and conversations are not always productive and considerate. • Compared to competitor tech companies, the benefits here are lacking. Fitness reimbursement is low, maternity leave is average, and ICs do not get a bonus or RSUs (company stock). • The company has been in the red quadrant for quite some time, so I am uncertain of its profitable outlook over the next few years. • Priorities are constantly adjusting to the point where if you start working on a "high priority" project, it gets pushed back. Once you're able to deliver on a goal, there is very little to no time to evaluate results and iterate. • This company runs like a growing start-up with very little realized structure. Important documents are not properly organized, processes are not well defined, and budgets for resources are conservative. • The guidance for PTO has been reduced, and the "July week of rest" has been repositioned to be included in the 4 weeks of PTO and is no longer "mandatory".

Pros

My manager who supports autonomy and flexibility, decent paycheck, lots of people who still care about the customer and helping others

Cons

The culture has slowly been changing from the special place that HubSpot used to be, to a more corporate, churn and burn feeling environment. Certain perks are being taken away, more and more metrics being added and high pressure that never seems to let up.
