Pros

Hubspot values employee happiness and satisfaction. They invest heavily in helping you find the path that is best for you and helping you along that path. Additionally they go out of their way to figure out how employees are doing and try to actively manage any developing problems. Hubspot has ruined all future jobs for me

Cons

Because hubspot is such a high power shop they expect great things from their employees. Its definitely not a place for everyone. If you don't know how to work hard then hubspot isn't for you.

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.
