Vantaggi

It used to be a good company until the layoff

Svantaggi

2022, they said they are not going to lay off anybody. The finance looked good. Then they laid off 7% of their workforce in 2023. 2024 comes, the company morale was at their lowest. They said There won't be another layoff, then they laid off bunch of UX Designers, and Katie Burke and bunch of HR people around her left. I bet the company told her to leave or something

Hi there, this is slightly awkward, but think it's important to address this one head on. The layoffs were a low point for HubSpot's culture, no question or debate about that. And, I think we've spoken pretty honestly about the fact that this year we are really reinvesting in employees and our culture because it's critically important to the company and to our success long-term, so no argument there. With that said, there will still be changes made within teams throughout the year based on their org design and business needs, and I get that that's really hard for people to stomach, but it's a reality of how we'll operate at scale. As for me and anyone else on my team, I wasn't asked to leave--I am taking time off to recharge and excited to hand the reigns to a leader who will help create the next chapter for HubSpot's culture alongside the leaders within my team. I think the combination of new expertise and internal knowledge will do great things for HubSpot, and I'm excited to see what they do together. Sorry that you feel disappointed by our leadership--I'm hopeful the investments this year will change your point of view here. -Katie

Vantaggi

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Svantaggi

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.
