Pros

You get to be passionate about your work. The people you get to work next to, 99% of the time, are good people - first which makes you want to work with them. They are team players who consistently strive to be exceptional for their clients, for HubSpot, for their team and for themselves last. People are smart, work hard and care about helping each other. It's rare to hear anyone say they 'don't have time' or 'that's not my job.' It's a very special place and not everyone is lucky enough in their career to work at a company that is fun, has great people, allows you to dream big and build big - if it works, it becomes your job. Client service and satisfaction is a real thing here and the sincerity of HubSpot employees shows. Clients/customers are generally awesome. You will learn a lot from your peers and if you are willing to seek mentors, as well as, challenge yourself. You'll meet your future business partners because people have great ideas, are entrepreneurs innately and you'll teach each other something everyday.

Cons

Sometimes bad apples slip through the cracks and don't understand that being a team isn't about anything other than delivering the best work product to your clients. Those people are hard to work with and make it difficult for those around them. It's rare, but when it happens it makes an impact. Constructive feedback/1:1 meetings are mostly a joke where your manager asks you, in a way they just learned at a workshop, how they should be doing their job. 'How can I help you do xyz?' That's not leadership. If people knew the answers to why they weren't great at certain things, they'd solve it for themselves. People are go getters at HubSpot, so if they aren't doing something right, their manager should be the one doing some reflection. If you are looking to be inspired or hope to develop as a professional, beyond the basics, you'll be disappointed. If you have any experience or talent, you'll likely be managing up because huge growth is awesome, except when you're saddled with a new manager who may have been a great individual contributor, but is in no way a leader. Experienced people are rarely, if ever, pumped about how much their manager teaches/coaches them There are some great leaders and the people you work alongside are outstanding. The reality is you'll likely end up with a mediocre, micro-manager who pretends to embrace new ideas, different tactics, but is constantly CYA-ing instead of GSD-ing.

This review really saddened me, so thanks for sharing it--we have a few plays in place specifically targeted at helping both identify managers who aren't effective and at training existing and aspiring managers to help empower employees through things like more impactful 1:1s, etc. If you have time to chat, would love to connect live to talk through your concerns and how we can proactively address them, but either way, thanks for shedding a light on your experience, we are working tirelessly to improve it. -Katie Burke

We absolutely need to work on the Jobs site, there's no question about that--the plan is to revisit the Jobs site post-INBOUND and then hopefully we can get both the internal job board and external postings more accurate and more relevant for folks inside and outside the organization. We are committed to hiring a truly global workforce to reflect our global customer base, so would love to ensure that we deliver on that in the upcoming year--more to follow there soon!

Pros

There's no shortage of orange enthusiasm here at HubSpot. The people are great and the culture makes every day interesting. Can't say enough good things

Cons

Honestly, I don't have any huge cons. I think that HubSpot employees take the job with the understanding that they'll be challenged and held to high standards. We hire the best for a reason!
