HubSpot reviews

I've stayed at HubSpot long enough to see that the widely advertised so-called "Culture Code" that everyone is talking about internally, has nothing to do with reality. In theory, yes, the culture is amazing. In action, if you happen to work with a manager that CONSTANTLY shares with you negative feedback and focusing only on what you do bad without highlighting the strengths and great things you might be doing, then sorry but there is a HUGE discrepancy between words and action. You cannot tell a rep to "be careful" in the future while choosing their holidays if they are not hitting their monthly quota. This is unacceptable and against your "culture code". When I decide to take time off in order to discharge and feel better from your continuous pressure is something that I will judge, and not you. I was constantly stressed and psychologically so forced every single time I would meet my manager, because I knew that I would get again negative feedback and no empathy at all. Zero empathy and zero support. Also, when I decided to talk about it with HR, nothing happened. They basically told me it's between me and my manager and I should try to solve it with them...!

Hubspot really was a best place to work at one time. Those of us who were there were lucky to have experienced that. I could write out a lot here, but it really boils down to: my experience is that hubspot cares about its employees and customers about as much as your average large corporation. It’s not the worst place to work, but it’s not an amazing place to work anymore. In my opinion, on average, employees seem a little unhappy and a bit disconnected from the mission. There are a lot of arbitrary KPIs to make up for lack of context/experience in some of leadership. Many who are coming from outside of hubspot and, in my experience, don’t necessarily understand what goes into the jobs of those around them. My experience is that you have to be ruthless or cut-throat to be successful. Cash compensation is on the lower end and there are many upcoming changes.
