Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and for the impact you made during your time at HubSpot. It’s great to hear you valued the structure and processes in place, and we also appreciate you calling out where things felt less clear. Career growth is something we care deeply about. That’s why we recently rolled out our Growth, Paths, Structure (GPS) framework, which brings greater clarity and consistency to how roles, expectations, and pathways to promotion are defined across the business. Thanks again for all that you did during your time at HubSpot, and wishing you all the best in your next chapter.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
