This is the 'outstanding' culture that Hubspot prides itself on that I honestly witnessed on a near daily basis:
- Male colleagues who VERY openly talk about which Hubspot girls they wanted to sleep with or thought were hot, in the most vulgar of terms. If a certain Hubspot female was coming to the office, you'd sure hear about it!
- Coworkers who VERY openly make fun of and gossip about colleagues on and off their team. Know that when you are out sick that you WILL be talked about behind your back, and might have a meme or two making fun of you and shared to the whole team.
- A boss, who you are supposed to respect, that gets beyond wasted at nearly every company event.
- Coworkers who talk openly and loudly about topics ranging from the size of their genitals, the girls they slept with that week, the drugs they took that week, and the coworkers (on the same team) that they dislike.
- People who are so genuinely awful that they make the 'no jerks policy' look like a complete joke, but have complete impunity because of their particular relations to the boss.
- Coworkers and bosses who openly start drinking the free beer at 3pm.
- Expletives and extreme vulgarities dropped openly and loudly left and right, regardless of the subject matter, but most often when complaining loudly about coworkers or customers.
- Bosses and managers that are so inexperienced, incompetent, and juvenile that they not only set the precedent of the above behaviors, but in the face of real professionals waste no time in passing all 'smart people' work off onto them, taking credit for all their ideas and accomplishments without thanks, and running to them desperately for support and counsel in their never ending crisis's.
- Middle-Upper management who know all too well about all the above problems (because they have absolutely been told directly or via TinyPulse) but ignore them by remaining conspicuously absent and silent, or firing the people that have the balls to speak up in more adamant ways.
