Pros

Hiring process took place through APAC division. It was a very extensive process and they do ask many gruelling questions, always be prepared to give more context and colour if they dig deeper into your answers. Even before being hired I felt that I had already picked up a lot of interviewing skills and they openly give you tips on how I could have made my answer or preparation a bit more polished. While it wasn't an easy process, but I definitely appreciated what I learnt and it made me realise that HubSpot was somewhere that was genuinely interested in developing my professional and personal capital. Throughout the entire interview process my two main points of contact were Elayne and Yuan from the Singapore office. They were always available to chat, help fill any gaps in my knowledge of the product, and tried their best to fit the interview times to my schedule (even apologised for a timing mix up). Super appreciative as not all companies care about small details like this.

Cons

It's an exhaustive process, so be prepared to answer some tricky questions and for a long application. But it pays dividends in how to better present yourself!

I'm so glad to hear you had a great candidate experience and that Yuan and Elayne took good care of you-I'm delighted but not at all surprised! The SingSpot team is pretty amazing, and I'm so glad you're a part of it--thanks for starting your career with HubSpot, and look forward to seeing you next time I visit! Sincerely, 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.
