Pros

My coworkers are fantastic. Everyone from direct people managers on down are truly fantastic people and I've built many friendships with amazing people in my time here. Remote work is always great!

Cons

HubSpot used to brag that they were the Best Place to Work in America. They don’t seem to be even trying for that anymore. Our eNPS score was the lowest it's ever been, and the entire Support department regularly gets told that we're the backbone of the company, but we get treated so poorly that everybody seems to be packing up and leaving. If you're a minority, they aren't interested in paying more than lip service to diversity. If you're experiencing discrimination, they don’t seem interested in doing anything about it, because there's no business need to do so. AI has taken over large percentages of Support tickets, leaving the difficult work to humans. We're burned out, and the company's response to that burnout is a new pilot program where we're told to work harder, while they try to sugarcoat it as being easier. We are underpaid for our work, and they keep telling us that we're paid average for our role. Support members have very little chance of moving into positions in other departments, and the seeming hard focus on hiring in countries outside the US in order to pay them less for the same work, means there's no chance of advancement.

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.

Pros

I've been working at HubSpot for less than a year and these are the things that I've loved since starting - Flexibility: Just be sure to communicate with your team and managers and flexibility of schedule is offered to you if you need it. It makes you feel like you're in charge of your schedule as long as you're producing the expected amount of work. - Autonomy: At first, coming from a different company/culture, this was an adjustment. But, I can honestly say that I love being in charge of making my own day to day priorities while driving towards an overall set goal. It makes me feel empowered and I take pride and ownership over the work I'm doing each day. - Great People Work Here: Amazing people ready to welcome anyone that is new and help with any questions. - Creative Freedom/Everyone's Opinion Matters

Cons

The only con I have would be the sense of being overwhelmed a bit at the beginning of my career here. There is a lot of information available to new employees and it can be hard to determine where to start. The learning and development team does a great job of trying to set you off on the right path though.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for being an engineer at HubSpot, we are lucky to have you. I think your feedback on feeling overwhelmed at the start is important, both to encourage our team to continue to keep an eye on that with new folks, but also for new folks to realize they aren't alone on that front, so thanks for calling it out! I also love you feel Creative Opinion and that everyone's voice here matters-it's mission critical that folks feel that way, so it brings me great joy that you do. Thank you for your thoughtful review and for all you do for HubSpot! -Katie
