Pros

HubSpot offers a ton of great benefits for their employees such as unlimited PTO, 4 months paid of maternity/paternity leave, 10 or 12 free coaching and therapy sessions, $5000 annual training budget, etc... They also operate in a full autonomy environment which is a blessing and can be a curse depending on team dynamics. There are some incredible people who work there. Most of the people there are kind, extremely smart, and welcoming. I will be definitely keeping in keep with some of the incredible people I've had the pleasure to connect with.

Cons

It is not a good place to grow and thrive as a Product Manager. Industry proven ways to do agile development and product management is frowned upon by the engineering and product teams. It is common to ship features 3-4 months late and everyone is content with that. The lower level leadership team lack experience and struggle to lead effectively. This is not the fault of the leaders but more so HubSpot for not training their leaders properly. The role of being a PM seemed to be watered down. I would like to see PMs be more responsible for managing the backlog, setting priorities, help in executive and delivery.

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.
