Pros

Great office, flexible working hours, great perks, great autonomy for teams, great people to work with, great place to learn and grow. Great product!

Cons

The food provided (breakfast and lunch) is really not good, I feel like I'm eating low-cost student food for a long time now. I feel like the free food is more like a marketing thing, to attract people, but once you start working there you realise it would be way better to have a slightly higher salary and no food at all. Especially if we're trying to compare with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Intercom, ... HubSpot needs to realise that having free food in Dublin is not really a perk any more

Thanks for the review and hope you fared okay through the snow last week! I agree our product is pretty great, thanks to your team and its hard work, and I'm glad to hear that we've followed through on our commitment to autonomy and flexibility in your experience. With regard to breakfast and lunch, it's a bit of a no-win for us at the moment--some people love it and would be livid if we changed it up, while others feel the same way you do--I'll chat to facilities about their take here, but certainly appreciate the feedback, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Katie

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.
