Crazy smart people and great culture

Pros

Working at HubSpot is great because, more than anything else, the people who work there are world class. There's something to learn from everyone, and it's also the most fun group of people I've ever worked with.

Cons

As often happens with really smart people, there's a certain degree of ego and flakiness. Some people can be hard to work with and it's sometimes difficult to nail down a hard answer.

Little to no growth opportunity, minimal pay, lots of jerks

Pros

- kitchen - beer fridge - cool office - no dress code - if you're the right person, plenty of opportunity for career advancement

Cons

- plenty of people in management roles with no management experience, who are more concerned with themselves and their friends at the company than their team - a ton of politics, for a company that claims to be "flat" and have a "no door policy," behind the scene politics dictate everything.. .and if you aren't behind the scenes, then you simply fall victim to decisions made - for a place so data-driven, they ignore a lot of the big numbers... namely the number of people leaving, its as if the floodgates have opened. - favoritism... if you are one of the named few, you can do anything you want (i.e., not perform) and still have job security, even opportunity for advancement, over people who actually deserve it - AWFUL pay... even on the sales team where you can supposedly make a ton, they pay miserably low salaries, far below market-rate, and if you even try to ask for a raise, you will be looked at like an alien- and probably treated like one - their "no jerks policy" is a flat out lie- the place is filled with them, starting from the top down. - Morale sucks. big time.

A place to start, but definitely not a place to stay.

Pros

When you get hired at HubSpot, they make you feel like you hit the jackpot upon jackpots. And in some ways they're right. Fun company culture, lots of free food and cool perks like unlimited vacation and sexy office space. If you are lucky to get a good manager, you can have a great career path at HubSpot. There are many people who have done very well because they are talented and smart, but also because they had a good manager advocating for their success. It's a great place to start if you're looking to get a cool name on your resume and learn the ins and outs of a SaaS company.

Cons

There are so many holes in this company that a candy wall and unlimited vacation cannot fix. Promotions are totally out of control. There are many senior employees who do not deserve the titles or pay they have and continuously get away with underperforming and mismanaging their teams. There is a complete lack of management training so people who are promoted into a management role have ZERO idea what they're doing. Company feedback forms clearly identified that junior employees felt there was a lack of management and senior employees acknowledged the absence of management training. Nothing was done about that when I was there. Salary was also a huge pain point across many departments. For one of the more expensive cities in the country and a company that claims to be doing extremely well, they could afford to pay employees (who are claimed to be extremely important), more than the bare minimum. It was heartbreaking to see a chart shared at a company meeting listing what an entry level employee should be making at a software company and it was $10k more than what employees are offered in entry level roles. Seriously?
