Pros

I've been working at HubSpot for nearly 5 years, and came to Australia to set up our Sydney office in July 2014. Over the past two years, I've had the privilege to interview and onboard a high percentage of our current ~45 person team. Each new SydSpotter brings a fresh perspective, and adds to the culture which we are constantly evolving. Having worked in the Dublin & Cambridge offices, I'm lucky to have a benchmark for how Sydney is going comparatively to the other offices. In many ways we operate autonomously as a startup, but with massive support, guidance (and requisite performance expectations) from HQ and our APAC head office in Singapore. HubSpot (globally) is a very special place where I've had the chance to massively develop my career while helping others do the same. Oh, and the product is also amazing/improving everyday.

Cons

1. There simply aren't enough hours in the day to do what we have the potential to achieve in ANZ. 2. We run out of bananas in the kitchen, occasionally.

So glad to hear you've had such a great experience at HubSpot, and really appreciate you writing up a review of all things SydSpot--I would have to agree that there is something truly special happening in Sydney, and that the team there is truly helping create a remarkable experience in ANZ for our customers and partners. Most importantly, thanks for your leadership and helping us build out such a great team--I was truly struck on my recent visit by the energy, intellect, passion, and excitement every HubSpotter in the office brings to work every day--it is indeed just the beginning, but a truly remarkable one at that! 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.
