HubSpot Reviews

Pros

1. A welcoming and supportive environment that encourages you to do your best. 2. Transparent and dedicated to improving based upon actionable feedback. 3. Established structure and culture of learning and asking questions.

Cons

None to speak of yet.

Pros

Great place to work alot of resources great mentorship opportunity for growth and to make money

Cons

can be overwhelming it is sales so some months are tough can be a grind

Pros

The people, culture, and genuine care for employees is everything it was touted to be and more! There is a reason HubSpot is at the top of GlassDoor and other job transparency sites, and I have loved it here so far. The diversity training and first week onboarding was the BEST onboarding training I have done with any company, and that can be difficult to do remotely. Your health and well-being is genuinely important to others here, and you can feel it, and it creates a great culture of taking care of each other. The perks and benefits are also excellent.

Cons

The only con I have ran into is that in my particular area, processes are a bit loosely defined for such a large company. It's not a problem if you are a go-getter and like to figure things out for yourself (which I am), but I would have expected more clearly defined processes to help new-hires understand what is expected and the steps taken to get to the same result. Everyone seems to be doing their own methods which is fine, but that can create inconsistency with end results and doesn't work as well when scaling a team or onboarding new hires. HubSpot DOES seem to know this however, and I have already seen initiatives in place to start creating better/more defined processes.

Pros

Wonderful people to work with. Excellent developer tooling. Compensation has improved significantly.

Cons

There's been quite a few high impact people fired in recent months because they were doing "fine" for one quarter instead of exceeding expectations. They get a PIP, no clear guidance for improving, ignored by managers and then fired after a month. These are people who have been around for years, previously did well enough to get promoted, and are now suddenly not good enough. They built HubSpot and their reward is being cut off when they stop burning their candle on both ends. Performance measurement has gone from being story based to metrics based and it's hurting morale.

Pros

- Learn lots of new skills - Learn good Business Acumen - Receive feedback - Good relationships with managers and colleagues, managers care and feel more like leaders and not managers. They want you to be successful

Cons

- Internal mobility very competitive and difficult

Pros

You get a middling job that will pay the bills and work remotely that will give you an excuse to hide from disrespectful or moderately competent coworkers. You get to work against other teams and compete to be better than all the rest, the best like no one ever was. You might get to work with a leader that doesn't assign you the same task also assigned to several others, unbeknownst to you. You can take unlimited vacation and fall behind your co-workers on their way to a promotion before you, even though you completed everything in good order. You get a high chance of taking on work that will not get recognized because the leader that designed the project was confused and can't understand if there's any business value. You might still have some of the benefits advertised by the time you start. You might have a chance to switch teams or move internally if leadership thinks a new shiny title and rebranding an existing role are important in the next year.

Cons

This is a complete bureaucracy now. Any merit based teams are few and far between. Those teams are also probably not hiring, as they are being forced to conform or actively being managed out by being given unrealistic expectations. Culture, teamwork, and comradery are all rapidly declining as teams feel pit against each to produce.

Pros

The company tries to make workplace a psychologically safe place (but this is "trying" and this doesn't mean every team is psychologically safe). However, I would have to say, in terms of this, it's definitely above average compared to other companies.

Cons

No opportunities for actual growth. They will keep telling you to grow your skills and contribution like a superman but your salary or title won't grow 99% of the time. Every team isn't created equal. Your experience at hubspot will really depend on your manager and manager of manager etc. One team will be super micro managing and stressful to be part of while other teams are better. They will lay you off with absolutely no notice if they decide to save money or for whatever reason.

Pros

Great environment and great people who are very supportive

Cons

You have to be very good at time management

Pros

- Everybody I work with week-to-week is skillful, helpful, flexible - Trust-based, people-centric culture in general. Proud to be a part of it - Many perks including work from home, unlimited PTO, strong benefits - Layoff severance package was strong for those affected (5-month salary baseline)

Cons

- Regardless of how things run at the micro-level (which generally seems to allow for a lot of autonomy and room to grow), HubSpot still has all the implications that any big business comes with - No indication prior to layoff. Even high level management was unaware (which makes me wonder how decisions were calculated), but that's not uncommon either

Pros

Great culture, people really care

Cons

Over hired and people weren’t even working
