Is Hubspot Good place to work?

[evanadley]

I have interview with Hubspot for the position of Senior Software Engineer. Now, I am a full-stack developer with six years of experience at a startup company.

I am curious if anyone in this forum has experience working at Hubspot and can speak to their experience. Can you provide insights into the work culture at Hubspot? ehallpass.pro

What is a realistic Total Compensation package that I should expect from Hubspot?

Yes, HubSpot is generally considered a good place to work! The company has received positive feedback for its work culture, career growth opportunities, and compensation packages.

Here are some key points:

1. Work Culture: HubSpot is often praised for its inclusive, supportive, and flexible work environment. It's known for fostering a culture of transparency, collaboration, and learning. Many employees appreciate the work-life balance, along with the autonomy and trust given to them. HubSpot is consistently ranked as a "Great Place to Work" by its employees.

2. Career Growth: HubSpot offers strong opportunities for career development, with a focus on promoting from within. Employees appreciate the learning and mentorship opportunities, and there is a strong emphasis on innovation and continuous improvement.

3. Compensation: HubSpot is competitive when it comes to compensation. For a Senior Software Engineer, you can expect a total compensation package that includes a solid base salary, bonuses, and equity options. The pay varies depending on location and experience but is generally regarded as competitive within the tech industry.

4. Employee Reviews: Employees often mention the positive culture and work-life balance, though some have mentioned that the company can be somewhat corporate in terms of structure and metrics. A few reviews even mention a "frat house" atmosphere, but this is generally a minority opinion. mykohlscard

The company values transparency, autonomy, and flexibility, promoting a culture where employees are encouraged to be innovative and work independently while supporting team collaboration. HubSpot also emphasizes the importance of work-life balance and offers various benefits to support this, such as flexible work hours and remote work opportunities.

Based on my experience at HubSpot, I enthusiastically recommend it as a workplace. If you're accustomed to the startup atmosphere, you'll find it familiar. HubSpot places significant importance on its culture, and I've forged enduring relationships with several colleagues from my time there.

For engineers, in particular, it's noteworthy that many have either returned to HubSpot after leaving or opted to remain, which speaks to the positive environment it provides for them.

While I've heard that there have been some changes in recent years—something that's common in many tech companies given recent layoffs—these changes can vary from team to team.

While I can't provide insights into specific companies or their compensation packages, I can offer some general advice for preparing for your interview with HubSpot:

1. Research the company: Familiarize yourself with HubSpot's products, services, and mission. Understand their target market, competitors, and recent news or developments.

2. Understand the role: Review the job description thoroughly and identify the key responsibilities, required skills, and qualifications for the Senior Software Engineer position. Be prepared to discuss how your experience aligns with these requirements.

3. Prepare examples: Anticipate questions about your past projects, technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork. Prepare specific examples and anecdotes to demonstrate your expertise and achievements.

4. Familiarize yourself with HubSpot's culture: While it's helpful to hear from current or former employees, also explore HubSpot's website, blog, and social media channels to get a sense of their culture, values, and workplace environment.

5. Practice behavioral interviews: HubSpot may use behavioral interview techniques to assess your fit for the role and the company culture. Practice answering questions about your past experiences using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to structure your responses.

6. Negotiate your compensation: Research industry standards and benchmarks for compensation packages for Senior Software Engineers in your location and industry. Consider factors such as base salary, bonuses, equity, benefits, and perks. Be prepared to negotiate based on your skills, experience, and the value you can bring to HubSpot.

Remember to approach the interview with confidence, enthusiasm, and a genuine interest in the role and the company. Good luck with your interview at HubSpot! Mykplan

As someone who used to work at HubSpot, I'd definitely recommend it as a workplace. If you're familiar with the startup environment, you'll have an idea of what to expect. Like many tech companies, there's a big emphasis on culture at HubSpot, and I've remained close with many people I met there.

Specifically for engineers, I've seen several who either returned to HubSpot after leaving or decided to stay on, indicating it's a great place for engineers to work.

Although I've heard some aspects have changed in recent years, which is common across many tech companies given the recent layoffs, this can vary by team.

Hey @evanadley 

I dont know if here in the community 'd be the most suitable place for this conversation.

You can always reach out in LinkedIn for people with a similar role as the one you are applying

and have a private conversation about this if they are willing to share.

hope this helps

Hey @evanadley as Karsten mentioned Glassdoor is probably the best place to check for this. 

As an Ex-HubSpotter I would recomend it as a place to work. If you have experience in a startup you'll know somewhat what you're in for. Expect the usual tech company things, there's a lot of focus on culture in HubSpot too. I'm still friends with a lot of people I met during my time there. 

For engineers specifically I know several engineers who have "boomeranged" back to HubSpot or never left, it seems to be a very good place for an engineer to work. 

I've been told things are somewhat different in the past few years, but that's pretty much every tech company since the layoffs began happening, but that likely depends on the team.
