Pros

Great company name to have on your resume, good benefits, WFH flexibility

Cons

I'm not sure how HubSpot is ranked so high on best places to work, the culture (at least on the corporate sales side) is hands down, the worst I have ever seen. Unfortunately, a lot of the success at HubSpot comes down to 1. your territory and 2. your manager. If either, or both of those are lacking, you're in trouble. Product has potential in the enterprise space, but there is a long way to go. Management measures "enterprise" (which are really mid market) reps on a monthly quota which in "enterprise" sales, is unrealistic. Leadership also recently rolled out what's called "breakfast club" for reps that are below 70% of their monthly number. Basically, that entails sending an email every Friday to your manager, director, and VP explaining why you missed your number, what you are doing to improve for next month, and laying out all of your KPIs and metrics. This means you can hit 400% of your number one month, then 68% of your number the next month, and you will still be put in breakfast club. Love being micro-managed? HubSpot's your place. There is close to no onboarding when you start, and you are expected to be a pro in all of HubSpot's "hubs" meaning Sales, Marketing, Service, Operations, and CMS. In regards to parental leave- YES, you have 16 weeks which is wonderful HOWEVER- be prepared to ramp back up within weeks or you will be put on PIP. HubSpot does a great job hyping up the 16 week leave but what they don't mention is the ramp period when you get back. Beware. HubSpot also takes Woke Culture to the next level and if you're not bought in, you're an outcast. All in all, I would strongly, strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

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.
