Pros
- Unlimited PTO (not really unlimited, but you can take like a week extra, or maybe two if your manager likes you) - WFH - Flexible hours - Weeks of Rest were cool, but I think they are cutting back on them now.
Cons
They're great at pushing this narrative that HubSpot is such an amazing company. But my experience at HubSpot was the worst experience I've had in my career. - Some of the worst managers I've ever met. People get put on a PIP just because their manager doesn't like them, and HR will support everything the manager says, no matter how ridiculous their claim is. - Unpaid on-call. I was on-call for a week every 3-4 weeks, 24/7. - Team without any camaraderie and with lots of backstabbing. - Lots of legacy code and no time to fix the issues because of the pressure to deliver new features. - Several people on my team regularly worked overtime (evenings and weekends), and I felt like this was also expected of me (it was never said to me directly, but some of the expectations were unreasonable for regular working hours). - You were supposed to estimate your tickets (Jira's) in days of work, and then were questioned why a ticket took a day over the estimate or why you estimated more than it really took. It's ridiculous. Honestly, I feel like this job gave me PTSD. And it was supposed to be an amazing company with great culture and WLB.
