Pros

Good internal tools. No Ops.

Cons

Watch the movie “the Internship” and you’ll get a sense of what HubSpot is marketing itself as. It’s a disgusting systematic tactics to exploit the blooming tech industry with an over-saturation of inexperienced young talented people trying to get their foot in the tech scene. HubSpot shamelessly markets itself as a shiny big tech firm when all of its benefits are only for PR stunt. You need to be the top 5% - 10% to be able to use the “Unlimited holidays”, it’s not for everyone. The gym membership reimbursement is a prepaid MasterCard that expires after 3 months and you cannot get cash out of that card. HubSpot is actually a sweatshop in disguise. HubSpot’s JIRA tickets are measured in minutes, and you see tickets estimated for only 15 minutes! You are expected to deliver a task, including find the issue, do the a code change, finish your code review, and deploy to QA and test it, and deploy it production. You then spend a few minutes logging on the ticket saying that you spend 25 minutes doing the task, because you didn’t want to look bad claiming the entire task takes you twice as long. The entire system is designed to be a ruthless grind to exploit every penny out of their engineers. Any other company would have a much better work-life balance.

Not the place it used to be

Pros

Global week of rest approaching

Cons

The customer success department used to be all about the mental health and well-being of the employees, it was once the number one priority. Those days are long gone with management assuring us targets would not be increasing again this year, only for them to Jack them up (with one teams surpassing a 14% increase). If you want to solve for customers and be a strategic asset to them, this isn’t the place for you.! Its turning into nothing more than a sales organisation but without the salary, all to meet the senior leaderships want of the revenue increasing with no extra support or resources (bar sandler training…why would we need that if we’re not a sales team!!).

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...!
