HubSpot

This review has been long overdue. One of the reasons to join HubSpot was their Glassdoor reviews and the fact that leadership reads those reviews. It is only fair to pass on my own reflections to people interviewing and considering joining.

HubSpot is a seriously great company, and I hope it never changes. They have a great focus on culture, and it shows everywhere. In part, I am reluctant to praise them so as not to throw them off course by drum beats. But as CTO Dharmesh Shah says often, great companies have two products, and culture is one of them. So it would be great to have that challenged and tested.

Huge list of pros, but some of them are:

• Autonomy
• Great colleagues
• Meaningful work and impact
• Growth opportunities
• Being part of a company with visionary leadership and great values

For anyone reading this, I recommend checking out HubSpot's Culture Code slides (available online), following/checking HubSpot Life on Twitter, and engaging with leaders through various available avenues.

HubSpot is fairly transparent, and I have always been amazed by the autonomy, support, and avenues available so openly.

I think I will not be able to work for another company in the foreseeable future after working here.

Since this review will be read, as other reviews, I will take the opportunity to write some feedback to act on as well.

There are not really any big cons, but I wish:

• There was focus on having healthier snacks in the office. I do munch on what's available, and that's not good for the long term.
• Please double down on the messaging of autonomy and remote working. I did feel some reluctance in people about these at times.

A few things that I hope get picked up as advice are:

• Make it easier for people to work cross-department and push for that kind of synergy, as that will become extremely important for the journey forward.
• Please open avenues for executive transitions for non-MBA employees who might be a good fit for accelerated programs towards these roles.
