Pros

The greatest pro is the chance to work with incredibly smart people. When I got here I joked that the people here were smarter and better than me at things I didn't even know I was supposed to be good at. There's zero ambiguity as to how well any given employee is performing because of our very specific performance metrics. There's career flexibility and the company is will to experiment - if you have a role or function you think needs to exist you can propose it. There's lots of access to senior management if you have something to say - and the culture doesn't punish mistakes or questioning the status quo.

Cons

Get over the work/life balance thing. The successful people at HubSpot tend to be highly committed and their jobs are always somewhat on their minds. It's part of what makes us so innovative and creative. If you're looking for a job that you leave at the office at 5PM, this probably isn't for you.

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.
