Company culture is fun and they really know how to make employees happy.
Cons
Super fast paced, which can be intimidating for some people at the start, but if you’re cool with that, you can do just fine!

Thanks for being an Implementation Specialist in Dublin, we are lucky to have you on our team, and what a lovely group of humans who work in IS in DubSpot! Agree with you entirely on the fast pace to start, thanks for the feedback and for helping our customers in EMEA grow better. Sincerely, Katie
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.
