Boston Business Journal Names @HubSpot the #1 Best Place to Work

Where’s the best place to work in Boston?  You guessed it – HubSpot!  At this morning’s 2010 Best Places to Work Awards breakfast at the Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center, the Boston Business Journal announced HubSpot as the number one best place to work in Boston in the midsize companies category.  HubSpot, supported at the event by 12 enthusiastic members of its team, was up against some stiff competition for the top spot, competing against 19 other finalists including Google, who placed second.

"We really strive to build a unique and innovative culture at HubSpot, and our employees are a huge part of that," said HubSpot Founder and CEO Brian Halligan, who accepted the award on HubSpot’s behalf.  "One of the greatest things about working at HubSpot is the ability to help businesses improve and transform their marketing. Empowering our customers to be successful is a major factor in our employees' happiness, and without our customers, we wouldn't be here today. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 4 years since HubSpot was founded, and this recognition is truly an honor for us.”

HubSpot employees (AKA HubSpotters), now numbering over 160, are intelligent, hard-working, and team-oriented. They love HubSpot for its success, supportive leaders and co-workers, innovative and analytical culture and casual work environment, which boasts an office game room (foosball, ping pong or a beer, anyone?).  HubSpotters also enjoy no vacation policy, take pride in company-wide competitions such as Iron Chef HubSpot, and take part in HubSpot traditions such as a weekly internet marketing video podcast, HubSpot TV.

"It's an incredibly transparent work environment, and it's very laid back." said HubSpot Product Owner Karen Rubin, "There is a lot of joking and teasing that goes on in the office, making it a very comfortable place. Also, everyone here is brilliant, which makes it a lot of fun."

So, what do HubSpotters like best about working at HubSpot?  Other HubSpotters! In a recent employee survey conducted, HubSpot employees cited that their fellow co-workers were the key factors that made working at HubSpot so enjoyable.

HubSpot is an internet marketing software company founded four years ago in Cambridge, MA, whose inbound marketing software helps businesses get found online, generate more inbound leads and convert a higher percentage of those leads into paying customers.  HubSpot's software platform includes tools that allow professional marketers and business owners to manage search engine optimization, blogging and social media, as well as landing pages, lead intelligence and marketing analytics.  To date, more than 2,800 customers are using HubSpot's software to transform the way they market their products and services by leveraging the internet.

We're absolutely thrilled to be honored as the best place to work in Boston, so a huge thanks goes to our awesome employees, customers, partners, and the Boston Business Journal and its sponsors for recognizing HubSpot and putting together a fantastic event.
