It’s no secret that Berlin is one of the fastest-growing tech cities in Europe. In fact, a startup is founded every 20 minutes in the German capital. A survey HubSpot commissioned in 2016 found similar results with the vast majority of respondents identifying the city as a burgeoning hub for startups and tech companies. To solidify our support in the DACH market, HubSpot opened its Berlin office in 2017, initially committing to creating 75 jobs to meet the rising demand for HubSpot’s software solutions.

At HubSpot, we view our diversity initiatives as business-critical. We’re committed to making HubSpot more inclusive as we scale and grow – both because we know diverse teams perform better, but also because we believe it’s the right thing to do for our customers, partners, community, and values as an organization. To continue strengthening that commitment, we’re pleased to announce that HubSpot has welcomed Jabes Rojas as Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging.

Great Place to Work published their 2018 list of the Best Workplaces for Parents and we’re honored that HubSpot made the list thanks to employee reviews and feedback.

Great Place to Work and FORTUNE have honored HubSpot as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces for Women. The ranking considered more than 540,000 employee surveys from Great Place to Work certified companies and evaluated their experience at the company. These included the extent to which employees, particularly women, trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions, and how much camaraderie there is among the team. Rankings are based on employees’ feedback and reward companies who best include all employees, and where women have equally great experiences as employees of other genders, no matter who they are or what they do for the organization. We’re excited to announce that HubSpot took the #18 spot on the list thanks to employee reviews and feedback.
