Pros

Great office, flexible working hours, great perks, great autonomy for teams, great people to work with, great place to learn and grow. Great product!

Cons

The food provided (breakfast and lunch) is really not good, I feel like I'm eating low-cost student food for a long time now. I feel like the free food is more like a marketing thing, to attract people, but once you start working there you realise it would be way better to have a slightly higher salary and no food at all. Especially if we're trying to compare with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Intercom, ... HubSpot needs to realise that having free food in Dublin is not really a perk any more

Thanks for the review and hope you fared okay through the snow last week! I agree our product is pretty great, thanks to your team and its hard work, and I'm glad to hear that we've followed through on our commitment to autonomy and flexibility in your experience. With regard to breakfast and lunch, it's a bit of a no-win for us at the moment--some people love it and would be livid if we changed it up, while others feel the same way you do--I'll chat to facilities about their take here, but certainly appreciate the feedback, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Katie

Pros

Positive Culture: The people and immediate team members are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive. Work-Life Flexibility: A true 100% remote work environment that offers great day-to-day flexibility. Solid Perks on Paper: The benefits package explicitly includes an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

The "Unlimited PTO" Trap: While the company advertises unlimited PTO, it is impossible to take without penalty. If you take time off, you are still strictly required to make up every single call you missed while you were gone to hit your monthly metrics. Declining Direction & High Turnover: The company has faced a very rough year and is heading in the wrong direction. Morale is incredibly low, and talent is actively draining from the organization—several people are resigning entirely, going on medical leave due to stress, or desperately trying to transfer to different internal teams. Unrealistic, Extreme CSM Metrics: Customer Success Managers are being pushed to the brink by unattainable, rigid KPIs. The role has shifted from strategic relationship management to a high-volume, transactional grind. Current monthly expectations include: 80 calls per month 76% connected call rate for low-usage accounts 50% engagement rate required for at-risk accounts Stagnant Compensation: Despite the extreme increase in workload, micromanagement, and pressure, the annual raise for CSMs this year was under 2%, which fails to align with basic cost-of-living adjustments.
