Pros

- by far the smartest people I have ever worked with (and I have worked at companies known for having smart people) - demanding culture that focuses on achievement and results, not on seniority or face-time - very work hard / play hard atmosphere with lots of young, smart, energetic folks (and many of them are single and attractive, both men and women - rare for a software company) - very well known company (especially in Boston) and working at HubSpot for a few years enhances your career greatly - once in a lifetime opportunity to work for a hyper-growth company with a shot at becoming the 0.01% of companies that go from startup to multi-billions

Cons

- you have to be a "go getter" or "self starter" to be successful, no one spoon feeds you - compensation is very good, but not top of the charts (this is person specific though) - people are dedicated and passionate, if your job is not one of your key passions, you'll feel lost

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.
