Pros

HubSpot understands the importance of giving developers good tools. The entire tech stack is standardized and the company invests in tooling to make us more productive. The learning curve is easy because everything is standardized. We get access to all the latest AI tooling to make us more productive.

Cons

Some areas of the company have more impact and scale than others, so your experience building product features depends on which group you end up in. It's usually easy to move teams to continue growing. But sometimes it's hard if your level doesn't match the current open levels across the company.

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.
