That’s just so smart! It’s not just a cafeteria but free food IF you take an opportunity to learn. A company is built bottom-up and it’s nice to see a company point this out as a focus.Ī free meals program if you take someone smart out to dinner. They also speak about having transparency in all meetings and showing financials, KPIs, etc… I think all companies should do this…why they don’t is beyond me.Ī focus on ‘individual mastery’. Just like Santa Claus isn’t real, so is predictability at a job….for the only constant is change. Frankly, I think any company that wants to succeed will need to hire those who don’t dream for predictability and stability….for that’s an illusion. It’s important to know what you want to weed out for. They say no to hiring good people who want predictability and stability…instead hiring those with heart (humble, effective, adaptable, remarkable, and transparent).
I also like Hubspot’s selectivity on hiring.
It’s like when I worked at my last media startup job and it was a company policy that I had to take a vacation day if I was away from the keyboard for more than 4 hours. Ricardo Semler wrote how people could choose where to lodge and whether they wanted to get a company car and for them to decide what to expense at SEMCO. This applies to everything from vacation, business expense, where you work, etc….It just doesn’t get simpler than this. On the element of “Autonomy”…something I consider to be as basic as vacation in a company (if it wants to succeed)…. Probably because I’m tired of bullshit values and mission statements. I want to find any semblance of ’substance’ when I read these. A part of me is mad that I didn’t pull the trigger to invest in a company that invested in its people when I learned about them a few years ago because that would’ve been a 300%+ investment now.īut then again, my investment journey has been filled with ‘ones that got away’….still an amateur that’s learning. However, I decided to read through the 153 slides that defined Hubspot’s culture code. It’s probably second to envy in the worst sins. I had heard rumblings that they gave quite a bit of shit about their culture too.īut I didn’t look into it any deeper.
If one asks why I used Hubspot over Salesforce it’s because Hubspot was free and it let me set up meetings in my calendar for podcasts.
They say: "We are on a mission to transform marketing.” I also know they are a CRM company…at least that’s the product I’ve used them for. What does Hubspot do? I haven’t looked into it in depth but I know it’s a $14b company based out on Cambridge, MA.
