Pros

As an engineer, you get a ton of say in the direction of the product. Your opinions are heard and not discouraged. HubSpot has a culture where "that's not my job" doesn't exist. It's refreshing.

Cons

Through rapid growth, cross-team communication can be difficult at times. It also takes ambitious people do truly excel at HubSpot. Non-go-getters will have a hard time standing out in a sea of talented peers.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Thrilled that you're happy at HubSpot. Promise to do our best to continue to provide engineers (and everyone else) autonomy and listen intently when concerns creep up. As an engineer and introvert myself, I know we're not the most vocal bunch. If you happen to be shy, remember that my inbox is always open. My door would be open too, if I had one. :) Cheers.

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.
