Pros

- You are treated as a human being who has a life. Not just employee #28590 - Upper management are extremely transparent about their decisions. - Your goals are laid out by what would be best for the customer's, not HubSpot - Product building is aimed as customer impact/success. - People ops frequently roll-out new initiatives to help improve staff quality of life, this has been extremely prevalent during the covid-19 pandemic.

Cons

- I think with the hypergrowth there have been some issues with managers becoming Intermediaries between senior management and staff as opposed to working with staff directly. - Can be very American centric, like most tech companies.

Thanks for sharing your experience as a Product Expert in HubSpot, and for your callout on hyper growth and the challenges that come alongside it. Appreciate the fair callout on ensuring we operate with a more global first mindset, and the kind note about the work POPS has done to help support employees-we are certainly trying our best to support the teams in any way we can! Thanks for all you do for our customers, PEs are invaluable particularly as our product gets more vast and complex! -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.
