Pros

-Great product -Amazing colleagues -Cool office with free food

Cons

I've stayed at HubSpot long enough to see that the widely advertised so-called "Culture Code" that everyone is talking about internally, has nothing to do with reality. In theory, yes, the culture is amazing. In action, if you happen to work with a manager that CONSTANTLY shares with you negative feedback and focusing only on what you do bad without highlighting the strengths and great things you might be doing, then sorry but there is a HUGE discrepancy between words and action. You cannot tell a rep to "be careful" in the future while choosing their holidays if they are not hitting their monthly quota. This is unacceptable and against your "culture code". When I decide to take time off in order to discharge and feel better from your continuous pressure is something that I will judge, and not you. I was constantly stressed and psychologically so forced every single time I would meet my manager, because I knew that I would get again negative feedback and no empathy at all. Zero empathy and zero support. Also, when I decided to talk about it with HR, nothing happened. They basically told me it's between me and my manager and I should try to solve it with them...!

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.
