Pros

* Great perks: free hot breakfast/lunch, beer on tap, lovely offices, health, dental, stock... etc. * Great colleagues: most people are friendly, helpful and open. * Room for career progression: they're pretty helpful in trying to get you to the next level. * Autonomy: "unlimited" holidays, the ability to work from home, flexible hours... etc. Just get the job done!

Cons

* Work/life balance: they hire overachievers and so the culture is a bit of a workaholic one. However, it can be manages if you're good with time management and saying no.

Thanks for the review and for helping our team in DubSpot grow--I'm incredibly proud of what the team has built there and grateful for all you do to make that happen. I agree that we hire high achieving folks, but hope you heard JD's mention Monday at the company that our goal is always to hire folks who work hard but also have interesting and dynamic lives outside of work, so keep us honest about continuing that balance. Keep up the great work and thanks again for your work and the review! -Katie

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.
