Pros

Full disclosure: I'm one of the HubSpot founders. I'm 16 years in to this journey and I can honestly say I'm having more fun than ever. We've had some modest success, but it still feels like early innings and still a lot of work to do to fulfill our mission to help millions of organizations grow better. I'm biased, but the biggest pro of HubSpot is its people and culture.

Cons

HubSpot is not the utopian workplace. I love it here, as do others -- but it's not a great fit for everyone. We can be an intense place and push each other to Solve For The Customer.

Thanks for your feedback Dharmesh! I would agree--you have just the teeniest tiniest bit of vested interest here, but nonetheless you're spot on we are still having a ton of fun and this place is truly special, in large part to the Culture Code! -Katie

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.
