Pros

I've been growing my career at Hubspot for over two years and am still challenged to be my best every day. There are 3 things that really set Hubspot apart (1) Fantastic management team that puts people - both customers and employees - first. Empathy is a core Hubspot value and the leadership team truly walks the walk. Especially during COVID, all decisions have prioritized employee and customer wellbeing, and I feel so grateful to be in such a supportive work environment. (2) World-class place to learn. Hubspot is a fast-growing leader in the SaaS space and therefore has almost endless opportunities to learn and take on new responsibility. Further, leadership has invested heavily in formal training programs to upskill employees in oth technical skills and leadership. (3) Openness to new ideas and perspectives. Even though Hubspot is a sizeable public company, it still has the nimbleness of a startup. If you have a way to do something better, people will listen and you will be given the autonomy to create change. Such a breath of fresh air coming from larger, more hierarchical organizations.

Cons

Because Hubspot is scaling fast, sometimes things feel like they are moving at the speed of light. You have to be a dynamic and flexible person to thrive in this environment.

Thank you so much for making the time to write such an insightful review, and for being a director with HubSpot, I like how you specifically call out how we are scaling with a level of autonomy, the investment we make in our people, and the speed at which we operate. Appreciate you, thanks for all you do! -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.
