HubSpot

Most of the people you work with will be decent quality, and people are generally friendly.

If you can work the politics a bit, you can get some interesting projects with real business impact.

Lots of growth potential, if you can get into the right area of the business.

I’ve spent a lot of time here, and until recently, I’ve had no real reason to consider leaving.

Leadership has been on a multi-year campaign to remove benefits that made HubSpot a great place to work, and to position those removals as exciting opportunities for employees rather than straightforward cost-cutting.

A recent example is the elimination of the unlimited time off policy, with the stated reason being that people weren't taking any time off. However, there's no mandated minimum time off policy, and it's left up to managers to determine how long their reports should be allowed to take off within certain unbinding "targets." This new policy was heralded by our new head of HR as "embracing clarity."

The CEO appears absent (she has been since she started, but even more so these days), and communications from her team are chaotic.

Just say what you mean.

Don’t write five paragraphs of nonsense when two sentences of straightforward truth will do. You’ll end up with a lot fewer angry employees if we don’t feel like we’re being gaslit.
