Pros

I have been at HubSpot for nearly a year and I have held off writing a review because to be honest I have been waiting for what I thought was the inevitable slip of the gorgeous, attractive mask but if anything it has only got better and better! Honestly! I geniunely love getting up for my job, I adore the people I work with and finally I feel like I work in a company that looks at me like a human rather than a number. There are so many pros...the benefits (unlimited holidays isnt a myth?!?! Seriously.), the people, the facilities, the opportunities to grow, the different projects, the challenging yet fair environment, did I say the people (?) and most definitely the support of management. A senior management team that actually listens?! Who knew?! I am so proud to work at HubSpot and from this cynic to the cynic reading this in a job where you are stressed out of your mind, there is light at the end of the tunnel just keep going! Times are changing in Ireland and I am so glad that I work in a company that I think are leading the way :)

Cons

There is a really really sharp learning curve that can be totally overwhelming but in fairness management are realistic, fair and they listen - actively listen. I work in Support and the starting pay is not great but there are loads of opportunities to grow within the company - mainly outside of Support however.

Well this made my entire week-thanks for sharing it. Our customer support team is such a huge core to our business, and I'm so grateful to you for helping our candidates learn more about your experience. In addition, I'm delighted you called out Kate's hard work--we are just so lucky to have her and I'm honoured to work with her each day, so thanks for the nice note--she is indeed fab in every way. Hope to see you when I'm over for Inspirefest and agree we should cut back on the emails--we're looking at ways to use Loom and other tools for more internal comms, I promise we are working on it, thanks for your note and for helping DubSpot grow! Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on 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.
