Great learning opportunity, toxic culture/environment. It's a place to develop skills but not a place to build a career. - Anonymous employee HubSpot Employee Review

Pros

-- fast-paced environment -- decent office location -- lots of skill building opportunities -- cross-departmental training sessions -- clear performance metrics -- defined career path -- peers tend to be pretty friendly -- accessible alumni network

Cons

-- short term focus (the 'rocket ship' vision is spoken of but not implemented) -- aggressive growth targets -- rampant micro-managing -- inconsistent quality/quantity of mentoring opportunities -- lack of gender diversity on the management team -- lack of transparency -- it's just a toxic place to be on a daily basis -- no vacation policy leads to employees actually taking no vacation

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.
