      Pros

      WLF Work from home pay

      Cons

      The company’s culture has shifted to focus heavily on performance. A few years ago, HubSpot put real effort into being one of the “Best Places to Work” and regularly landed in the top 10 or 20. But that’s changed. Now, there’s more pressure around hitting metrics like “green squares,” which has led to burnout and a noticeable dip in morale. The recent layoffs didn’t help either—mixed messages around them left people feeling uneasy, and the company’s reputation took a hit. On top of that, changes to the vacation policy added more uncertainty at a time when people were already on edge. In the past year alone, close to five people on my team have left—most of them senior—further impacting team stability and morale.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear you appreciate our hybrid policy and compensation. We’re in the midst of an intentional culture evolution—one designed to bring more clarity, consistency, and alignment as we grow. That means making deliberate choices about how we lead, how we operate, and how we shape the next chapter of the company. We recognize that not everyone will see these changes the same way. But we’re confident in the direction we're headed and in the principles guiding our decisions. Burnout is something we take very seriously - if you’re experiencing this, please do connect with your manager or HRBP so we can get you the support you need. Lastly, while guardrails were added to PTO to make it more equitable for all, no benefits have been peeled back. See the Wiki or HelpSpot for more information. Thanks for all that you do for HubSpot!

      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.
