Pros

The company does a great job giving employees a ton of autonomy at an early point of their careers. The vision of transforming how companies attract, engage and delight customers makes it exciting to come to work every day. Also the culture code isn't just a marketing document, people live and breathe it every day.

Cons

Not a negative for me but you really need to be passionate about what you do as this is not a 9-5 type of place. The company treats you like an adult, so you work where and when you want as long as you get your job done and then you get to take advantage of unlimited vacation.

I love the idea that there's real magic here, and that you feel like people here live and breathe the culture code--I agree, I feel lucky here every day. If you have ideas on how we can help folks navigate work-life fit (so that as you said they can enjoy unlimited vacation in a meaningful way), would love your input--thank you for all that you do every day to make HubSpot a great place to work. -Katie Burke

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.
