      Pros

      To use a baseball analogy, truly feel like we are in the 2nd inning here at HubSpot even with a lot of success thus far. There is nothing that fires me up more than being on a growing team and moving from a mere application, to a stack of tools, to eventually a platform and figuring out how to become a facebook, amazon, oracle, etc. catered to SMBs. The possibilities really are endless for the company from that perspective as they have gone from Marketing tools, to Sales tool and more. As an individual contributor, the possibilities are endless as well for what career path you want to carve out assuming you can over perform.

      Cons

      What makes me nervous as we push to this idea of becoming a platform, is the speed in which we do it. I've worked for companies where they thought the timing was right to add fuel to fire and as a result essentially spontaneously combusted because things needed to be ironed out internally first before truly thinking up hyper growth. Also, transparency I think is becoming more of an issue. As an organization who preaches how transparent we are, I think this has become a little distant compared to years past for front line employees to the c-suite....even though we say we are transparent. January is shockingly not that far away and I think there is a ton of unknown still on a month to month basis.

      Thanks for the thoughtful review, and for helping our prospects and customers grow with HubSpot. I love that you called out how individual contributors can grow here and how our SMB strategy has you fired up for what's to come, both are great reasons to work here. Great pushes on both platform speed and transparency--on the transparency front, I think it's less our willingness to do it and more investing the time to ensure we over-communicate on this front, so will happily think about how we can improve here and welcome your feedback if you're comfortable sharing separately. Thanks as always for the thoughtful push and feedback, I really appreciate it. Sincerely, Katie

      Pros

      Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

      Cons

      Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

      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.
