Pros

I've worked at a number of tech companies in Dublin, and have a bunch of connections working at others. HubSpot for me, out performs them all. Work - Great engineering stack - Very talented workforce - You can see your changes have an impact very quickly - Autonomy is very real - Fantastic perks + salary - Less meetings, more getting stuff done Culture - Transparency is highly regarded and encouraged - Active social committee across the company, meaning regular events - Very flexible working hours and working from home - Free breakfasts and lunches Office - Gym on site - Vibrant modern office space - Biking area + showers with towels Career - Everyone is responsible for their work - Great opportunities to move to management or continue on the technical road

Cons

Very hard to find problems that aren't addressed quickly. We expect a high standard of employee across the board. Some might find this challenging, but it also means you get to work with high achievers.

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.
