Pros

HubSpot claims to care about it's employees, but this have proven to be far from the truth

Cons

The small biz sector is quite literally ripping apart mental health of its employees. Putting people on PIPs who are over achieving. Adding a ton of internal meetings to calendars including Fridays (no meeting Fridays?). It seems obvious that quiet firing is taking place. There is 0 collaboration, and managers are not trained to coach a team. It is expected to work over 10 hours a day to hit quotas, and even if you do you might be put on a performance plan. Management is setting everyone up for failure and is completely blind to the needs of their employees. This was not the case in other departments, small business is a nightmare. Stay far away.

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.
