      Pros

      This is my first job out of college and I absolutely love it here. I work on challenging problems and often lead systems design on these projects. The people I work with are brilliant and I learn a ton from them. Working in BET I also get to learn a lot about how our business runs and how we're helping it grow. This is not something I expected when I joined, but has been an unanticipated benefit. Beyond the work itself, HubSpot is a great place to be. The benefits are fantastic and the company really cares about its employees

      Cons

      A lot of growing pains that I'm sure many companies experience. It often feels very siloed between departments and cross functional projects can be extremely difficult. The level of politics within the company as a whole has risen during my time here and sometimes it feels like we're doing things to placate peoples egos rather than move the company in the right direction. But these are exceptions rather than the rule. It also feels like we love starting big new initiatives and then abandoning them without notice after about a month. We should have more follow through or be more transparent about our focuses changing.

      Thanks for the review and for helping BET grow and scale. I agree with you that we sometimes abandon things before truly understanding if they work or not, but I'm really bummed to hear that you think the politics have risen during your time here--that's something we need to actively manage against in my opinion. Couldn't agree more that our strength is in our people and culture, so I promise we'll continue to be vigilant there as we grow and scale. Thanks for taking the time to write this up, and for helping HubSpot and our systems scale and grow. Sincerely, Katie

      Best company in my 20 year career.. and the best days are still to come

      Pros

      I've worked at five companies in my career and seen many others and HubSpot is, hands down, the best on so many levels. I have been able to work with some of the smartest people I've ever met, been given incredibly challenges to solve, have had a ton of fun, and have been able to help our customers succeed. While HubSpot has already accomplished a lot, the best days are still ahead.

      Cons

      If you are coming in with a lot of experience, come in with an open mind. HubSpot is different from any place I've ever worked at -- and that's a lot of what makes it special. But if you come in unwilling to embrace those differences and always talk about "this is how we did it at my last company", you will struggle.

      My favorite line of your review is "while HubSpot has already accomplished a lot, the best days are still ahead." I think that's the ultimate hallmark of where we are as a company--never satisfied, always striving to get better and improve, and with an eye toward future improvement. I'm glad we make you proud and stand out from the pack from other places you work--I hope we continue to do so as we grow and scale. Also agree with you on external leaders coming in--we need to make that playbook a bit easier for both the leaders and for the folks who work for them to balance external learning with the "at my last company" eyeroll. We'll get there for sure-thanks for your review and for all you do to make HubSpot such a great place to work. Sincerely, Katie

      Growing, improving, iterating

      Pros

      HubSpot is an incredible company and I am still excited to come into work every day several years into my tenure. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better tech company in the area, especially as an engineer. Business wise, stock and metrics continue to improve. Growth is difficult to sustain and not easy, but I'm bullish that we will continue to find ways. The company is not perfect, but the best thing about the culture is that it is willing to admit faults and improve where things are not great. * increased investment and revamping of training and leadership * always introspective, refining, improving processes and culture * transparency of operations and business from top down * growing, lots of hiring, opportunities to move up * great office, perks (coffee garden, tea, barista, ping pong, beer, snacks) * strong, trusted leadership * smart coworkers * flexibility in time * overall a fun environment to work in, great social events * autonomy, power to have impact

      Cons

      Naturally as the company has grown, the only constant has been change - which is fine. But HubSpot, like most growing startups/scaleups is not great at change management. There is good transparency, but that does not necessarily equate to good communication. There is thrash at times because the org structure does not support the goals that leadership sets for the company (which seem directionally correct, but execution is lacking). The company is very young and lacks diversity in many areas (race, women in leadership, etc), though there is a genuine effort to improve here.

      Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review--I think your push on autonomy is a good way, and I agree we likely need a bit more guardrails and clarity for folks on the front line. We are working really hard to move the needle on both diversity and inclusion, but still work to be done as you said. Lastly, I love that you called out our introspective nature as a company--we are always trying to grow, iterate, and improve, and I'm glad to hear that shines through in your experience. Thanks for helping HubSpot grow. Sincerely, Katie
