Pros

The seductive elements that are evident at most hip tech companies these days. Free food, free beer, great benefits, 401k, decent pay, free gym, attractive office space, stand up desks, the works! You'll feel like a real king for quite some time with all the nice perks.

Cons

This is the 'outstanding' culture that Hubspot prides itself on that I honestly witnessed on a near daily basis: - Male colleagues who VERY openly talk about which Hubspot girls they wanted to sleep with or thought were hot, in the most vulgar of terms. If a certain Hubspot female was coming to the office, you'd sure hear about it! - Coworkers who VERY openly make fun of and gossip about colleagues on and off their team. Know that when you are out sick that you WILL be talked about behind your back, and might have a meme or two making fun of you and shared to the whole team. - A boss, who you are supposed to respect, that gets beyond wasted at nearly every company event. - Coworkers who talk openly and loudly about topics ranging from the size of their genitals, the girls they slept with that week, the drugs they took that week, and the coworkers (on the same team) that they dislike. - People who are so genuinely awful that they make the 'no jerks policy' look like a complete joke, but have complete impunity because of their particular relations to the boss. - Coworkers and bosses who openly start drinking the free beer at 3pm. - Expletives and extreme vulgarities dropped openly and loudly left and right, regardless of the subject matter, but most often when complaining loudly about coworkers or customers. - Bosses and managers that are so inexperienced, incompetent, and juvenile that they not only set the precedent of the above behaviors, but in the face of real professionals waste no time in passing all 'smart people' work off onto them, taking credit for all their ideas and accomplishments without thanks, and running to them desperately for support and counsel in their never ending crisis's. - Middle-Upper management who know all too well about all the above problems (because they have absolutely been told directly or via TinyPulse) but ignore them by remaining conspicuously absent and silent, or firing the people that have the balls to speak up in more adamant ways.

I have a hard time reading what you're describing because it's the antithesis of what we aspire to be and do every day.The whole idea of our culture is predicated on humility, learning, and continuous improvement, so the notion that our goal is to shove it down people's throats or indoctrinate folks is the polar opposite of our objective on a daily basis. Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear that your experience was so different from so many other folks in terms of speaking up, sharing your opinion, and dissenting. -Katie

Pros

Being part of the global expansion of HubSpot is very exciting and presents huge opportunity for career growth. The progression path is fast and wide open, and there are no boundaries when it comes to innovation and growth of new regions. HubSpot has an amazing culture and the best people. I constantly feel challenge and learn something new everyday.

Cons

It is not so much a con, but there is so much opportunity, you can tend to take on too much.

Agree that we can continue to improve global communication--if you have specific ideas that can help, I'm all ears. Most importantly, I like that you said there are no boundaries and that you feel challenged every day--that's our goal, so I hope that sentiment continues--thanks for all that you do for HubSpot and for writing such a thoughtful review! -Katie

Always Be Learning

Pros

Overall, the people and culture make HubSpot such an amazing place to work. I've worked at a previous tech company with a similar feel but what puts HubSpot above that is the enormous amount of autonomy and training that you get. Senior management is also 100x more approachable! No egos whatsoever At HubSpot, there is always something new to learn and you won't get bored here

Cons

The opportunity to move across global offices is still limited but I'm sure that will come as the company continues to grow.

I couldn't agree more that that people here make all the difference--I'm also really excited to hear that we are following through on our promise to keep the H for Humble in HEART--it's a tough one to navigate as we scale, so we need to stay vigilant about it overall. Most importantly, thanks for being part of such an incredible marketing team--you guys are literally writing the playbook for a next generation of inbound marketing, so I'm super grateful for your contributions and for your review. -Katie
