Pros

Everything you've heard is true. HubSpot is the best thing since sliced bread. And yes, we have that too, for employees. But its so much more than the free food/beer/casual environment. HubSpot is spurring a real culture shift when it comes to work. I honestly wish that more companies would model theirs off of ours because it WORKS. You work when/where/how you want, because at the end of the day, you know what you're responsible for and are treated with the respect to get the job done. Feeling empowered within your day to day work as though you're an owner of a start-up, yet having the support and guidance of a large international company is one of the best gifts I've ever been given. And oh yes, we get rewards and recognition for that strong performance to boot.

Cons

I feel disappointed by colleagues that don't take advantage of all that HubSpot has to offer, or those that may not have experienced life outside the HubSpot world who may take these benefits for granted. HubSpot offers a lot to those that are willing to take advantage of 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.
