      Awesome company if you are on the right team/department - Principal Sales Engineer HubSpot Employee Review

      Pros

      HubSpot is one of the best companies I have worked for and it is amazing how many smart and inspiring people work here. Transparency is everything and you can really grow professionally if you want.

      Cons

      The biggest problem of this company is the first line management team, who is full of inexperienced people, who have been promoted because of their great performance as an individual contributor, but not necessarily for the ability and potential in managing people. Unfortunately these managers are not enabling the success of their team members, but they are mostly interested in showing upper management that they are as cool as managers as they were as individual contributors.

      Thanks for your review. I agree on people being smart and inspiring, and also agree we haven't perfectly nailed front line management and first time management just yet. We are working on plays to ensure we propel management to further success long-term, so if you have any interest in sending me your thoughts on specific actionable solutions on this, would love to hear them. Thank you for your input, your review, and your pushes--as we scale, we'll need to continue iterating and getting better, and this type of feedback is incredibly helpful to help us get there. Sincerely, 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.
