Pros

Fast evolving products. Medical benefits are amazing! There are lots of initiatives by culture team.

Cons

Work-life balance is a company branding KPI so that HubSpot looks good to potential hires. No such thing. Don’t be fooled by the rave reviews here and articles written by ex/current HubSpotters on LinkedIn. Go speak to someone who is/was working at HubSpot in the role you want to apply to. The person should be close to you too in order for them to be honest to you. No bonus. After 2 years in my role, no more pay raise unless you’re top performers (top 10%).

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.
