Pros

Good healthcare benefit for now Nice colleagues (suffering together)

Cons

As someone in their second to third year at HubSpot in a support role, it’s difficult to share this, especially knowing how quickly certain internal criticisms have been removed from Glassdoor recently. However, I believe it's important that varied perspectives are preserved, not just the overwhelmingly positive ones. There’s been growing unease among the frontline team. Many of us have noticed that middle management seems increasingly uncertain in direction, particularly as the company leans heavily into AI adoption. Public posts from leadership emphasize tracking internal AI usage, and this focus has translated into a visible push toward automation — particularly in support — with high AI deflection rates and fewer backfills for open roles. The message this sends is clear: natural attrition is being used to reduce headcount quietly. Regionally, especially in offices like Singapore, leadership often appears disconnected from what motivates the team. For instance, initiatives like mandatory camera-on policies have been positioned as morale boosters, but they come across as surface-level solutions to deeper engagement issues. It’s hard to ignore that some of these actions may be driven more by job security concerns than by actual team needs. Many of us still care deeply about the culture here — which is why it’s disappointing to see valid, constructive feedback being taken down rather than heard.

Pros

Working remotely has been nice, but I’m hearing that is going away next.

Cons

Over the years HubSpot has lost its way. We used to care about people, culture, and wellbeing of our team. Those days are over now. Helen our CHRO says we shouldn’t care about making money or being happy here, but instead making the company succeed. Top leaders are leaving weekly and new leaders from outside the org are ruining the company. Oh and almost forgot we no longer have a PTO policy or Sick Days. Not really sure how they legally are getting away with it. Goodbye health benefits!

Pros

Remote flexibility Stock performance interview is easy

Cons

Having worked at both FAANG and startups before, I can confidently say that HS has the worst environment. Self-righteous TLs: They seem more interested in bluffing and showing off in public channels rather than genuinely leading. Their careless jokes often create extra work for ICs and change the original plan/agreement, but they don’t seem to care. Toxic culture: Instead of fostering collaboration, the workplace feels like a "Squid Game" competition where people undermine rather than support each other. Cold-blooded management: The lack of empathy from leadership makes everything worse, reinforcing the cutthroat culture. Not Inclusive: prefer not to say details but be careful
