HubSpot

• Unlimited PTO
• Supportive of different people's work-life balance.
• Frequent company and team AMAs, especially since COVID.
• Lots of support, merit, and acknowledgement if you're an engineer, PM, or designer within the product org. Other roles receive none.
• People do care about movements such as BLM, mental health, and COVID.

Prides themselves on the HubSpot culture code (HEART), but HubSpot really isn't "Humble". The product team has a very marketing-esque (with cheering) monthly meeting. There's a lot of hype to promote HubSpot. Humble? Not the slightest.

No visibility into salary bands and career growth. (Hint: not Transparent; re: T in the culture code). Other tech companies do this better.

Promotions and seniority are inconsistent throughout the organization. The product org keeps changing, and they promote unqualified people to management roles but are slow to promote others.

WAY TOO much change.

Benefits do not match up to other tech companies (pre-COVID).

Product teams often do not communicate, or do so after the fact.

The performance review cycle is inconsistent for roles. It's not "peer" feedback when that feedback is optional.

Standardize peer feedback during performance reviews. It is currently optional to seek peer feedback, and it is often unidirectional. This means Person A gets feedback from Person B, but not the other way around.

Make career and salary bands transparent.
