HubSpot reviews

First things first, they tell everyone at the company meetings to go on here and rate 5 stars, take the reviews here with some salt. * Slightly below market rate pay * Laughably horrible 401k match * "We deploy 300 times a day" means "we expect you to get a lot of work done, do all your own QA, and then get paged in the middle of the night when something goes wrong" * Excessive focus on the stock price * "We don't care how long you're in the office, only that you get your work done" means spending more time in the office, not less * Their biggest expense is people, and it shows in ugly ways when they're reducing costs * Office is cramped and provides no privacy * Witnessed some unethical, borderline illegal behavior in support and product groups

Management culture makes it worse. When you're doing well, you’re celebrated. The moment you have a dip, you're suddenly treated like you're incompetent or lazy. There’s no grace, no curiosity, no support—just judgment. I’ve never experienced micromanagement like this before. Managers sit on your calls, dictate what you say, and ultimately try to run the deal themselves. It’s demoralizing. You're not treated as a professional with experience—you're treated like a puppet. It’s become clear that there simply isn’t enough opportunity or business to go around. Overhiring has created massive internal competition, and leadership seems to be aware of the problem—but nothing changes. I wanted to grow here. I wanted to build something. But HubSpot has made it clear that I can’t. I’ll likely have to move on soon if I want to actually be trusted, supported, and given a fair shot at success.
