Pros

The culture is amazing, the learning and growth opportunities are endless, and the people are great. Management is awesome. They try to know everyone by name and do a really great job of keeping tabs on the state of the office and the product. And since they have such an ear to the ground approach, they are always open to suggestions and questions.

Cons

Housing! It was so hard to find housing for 6 months, especially since I knew nothing about the area. HubSpot, please do something to make sure your coops have housing!

I love our co-op program, and am so deeply appreciative that you took the time to write a review, thank you for doing it! I'm delighted to hear you value the learning aspect of life at HubSpot, and that you feel management is in touch with and open to feedback, we work really hard at that, so I'm always really happy to hear when it rings true to employees. We absolutely need to keep an eye on housing, particularly in Cambridge and Dublin, so thank you for the push on that front, and for all of your hard work as a co-op, I deeply appreciate it. Hope you're having a great break and that you're considering rejoining the team in 2017! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
