Pros

Great 'no-asshole policy' in hiring at individual contributor level, so you'll have great colleagues.

Cons

Probably the worst company I've ever worked for, and the only reason I stayed there for almost five years is because of my team. Everything you read in 'Disrupted' is true: there is a huge 'in crowd' and the only way to get ahead or get anything done is to be a part of it. C-level knows this, and not only do they not do anything about it, they cultivate it. After the lay-offs of early 2023, which were handled in the worst way ever, it became a really bleak place to work. The pretence of HEART is going nowhere as those in power clearly have no heart. Brian Halligan's favorite phrase is "I want to build a company my grandchildren can be proud of". Well, pretty much everyone agrees that with HubSpot he's built nothing to be proud of.

Not sure there is much to respond to this outside of saying I'm sorry the experience disappointed you and that you felt we didn't hire enough external leaders. Always appreciate the feedback, thanks for sharing it our way. -Katie

Pros

The pay was pretty good

Cons

It's incredibly difficult to get promoted, unless you're a women or have a diverse gender identity, then its incredibly easy. Apparently, that's not problematic at all. They even brag about having over 50% women in leadership positions, that includes trans women, and that's how they do it. The CEO (also female) admits they're doing it on purpose, and even makes public company blog posts, and posts on women empowerment job sites about how they do it, completely oblivious to their bigotry and misandry. When the woman team lead, with only 4 years of junior level experience stepped down because it was too hard, they immediately promoted another woman with only 2 years of full experience who proceeded to ruin every project our team got due to lack of experience. Even though I had 8 years of experience, I was never even asked or considered for a promotion in that area. I found another job pretty quickly, I'm currently at the team lead level in a Texas based company. One that is not overly woke.

Not a good experience

Pros

Interesting products. Work with many different clients.

Cons

One of the worst companies I’ve ever had the misfortune of working for. Don’t let the Glassdoor reviews fool you, it’s not all lollipops and rainbows. Different sales divisions constantly gaming the system and stabbing each other in the back to steal leads. Massive amounts of red tape and bureaucracy to get paid out your commission on deals. Most people have drank the Kool-Aide and believe HubSpot is somehow changing/saving the world and the amount of self congratulatory nonsense going around is ridiculous. You sell software for businesses, you’re not curing world hunger.
