Pros

I started at HubSpot with limited sales experience, but a love for the Inbound mission and a relentless desire to contribute however I could. I did my day job well, took on new challenges, and no one ever told me no or to slow down. Instead, my colleagues taught me more, and pushed me to continue to improve. Nearly 5 years later I am in a key leadership role in sales and have elevated my career beyond my wildest dreams. I love HubSpot. There is an ever thriving startup culture even as the company scales, and I get an opportunity to learn from and be challenged by incredible people every single day.

Cons

HubSpot is not a place that you can come in, "do your time", and climb the corporate ladder. You need to do remarkable work to get noticed at HubSpot, but if that excites you, you will flourish at 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.
