Pros

You'll love the people you work with, or at least I do in my department. It's pretty hard to get into HubSpot, but once you're through, you'd see why. The calibre of the people here (smart, helpful, driven, etc) is pretty outstanding, and it challenges you to bring your best as well. There's a lot of openness & transparency, and it's a place where employees are empowered. Our employee perks are pretty amazing too!

Cons

I wouldn't say this is a con per se, but because there's so much of a start-up culture, and new things are happening all the time, sometimes it does feel like you're building the plane as you fly. Great if you like spontaneity, but if you're the sort that needs structure and defined guidelines, you do need to get use to 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.
