Pros

HubSpot is more than a company. It sounds cheesy to say, but I've truly never been pushed as hard, or enjoyed what I was doing, as much as I do here. You will be a small fish in an ocean of amazing employees. That said, the amount of support from employees at all levels of the company is immense. Provided you're inspired by the hard work of others, you will be motivated to accomplish more (and in less time) than you thought possible here. The autonomy granted here, along with the transparency, attention to culture, and paths for career growth are just a few of the factors that make this company amazing.

Cons

The work is hard. If you are intimidated by late nights, a fast pace, long hours, or the idea that you may never be the smartest person in the room, then this is not the company for you.

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.
