Pros

HubSpot had a fantastic idea 10yrs ago that changed the marketing landscape. Interestingly the idea has not just changed the marketing landscape, but changed the lives of those involved in the journey. Working for HubSpot is by no means easy, they expect you to go above and beyond to help make their legacy great - but isn't that the point in working in an industry, with great people, selling innovative products where you are truly passionate and fulfilled by the work?

Cons

For those that are not looking to elevate their career or unwilling to work hard for big wins, this is not the faint of heart. People here work hard, I mean really hard, and if that's not something you enjoy (despite getting better from it) HubSpot is not the place for you.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review--I love that you mentioned your fulfillment and work and called out specifically the impact our product and approach is having on the lives of our customers and partners--it's one of the reasons I love coming to work every day. Your push on the hard work is a fair one--I always want HubSpot to be a place with high expectations, but I also want folks to be able to unplug, so hopefully Brian's sabbatical sets a strong tone to folks there that it's encouraged to truly unplug. We'll keep driving forward to make you proud, thank you for all you do! Sincerely, 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.
