Pros

- Leadership TRULY CARES about employee experience and making sure we can all bring our authentic selves to work, feel supported both at work and outside of work, and are growing in our careers—it is remarkable - Huge energy behind diversity & inclusion initiatives from the highest levels of the company—really working to move the needle here in a way that's very encouraging - You get to work with and learn from the smartest, kindest, most generous folks - Ownership and autonomy in engineering—you get to make an impact from day 1

Cons

- Pay in engineering is below market - 401k match is very poor (as mentioned many times in reviews)

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review--we absolutely do care about our employees and their support inside and outside of work, so thanks for calling that out in your note. I would also echo feeling lucky that we work with smart, generous, and kind people--it legitimately never gets old. Thanks for the feedback on the 401k and our overall comp, appreciate your candor on both fronts. I promise we'll keep doing our best to make you proud at the leadership level-it's such a critical part of our company and our jobs, so thanks for your feedback and for all you do for HubSpot! Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

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.
