Pros

Pros - Good sales enablement stack - Nice hardware for us to use - Decent Work/Life balance - HubSpot on your resume - Week of rest in July - VQR for sales reps to get quota relief when they take PTO

Cons

- Something about asking new hires to leave reviews irritates me. HubSpot has enough new hires to manipulate/skew Glassdoor. I'd recommend sorting out one-line five-star reviews. They are not genuine. - Leadership is atrocious. The worst that I've ever seen. See, there are two kinds of people at HubSpot in Sales. 1. Those with lots of RSUs understand the HubSpot game (Drink the Cool-Aid and know your place). 2. Folks who want to build their career at a great company are left out to dry. - Underpaid relative to unrealistic quota. They are not honest about quota attainment and failure is encouraged in many ways as it helps leaders exceed their goals. - Product only competes competitively in one area (Marketing) - Turnover is really bad. No one brings their authentic self to work as you will be judged and mistreated as a result. Believe me, you do not want to be the cranky wheel at HubSpot. - Worst AE support I've seen. No one at HubSpot will help you. Not your manager, not your SE (they don't do demos or much at all). You will succeed or fail and it's 100% on you. - No exit interview upon departure. - Fought company to get earned commissions. - Managers have off-sites, reps stay and work. Never met a HubSpot colleague in my 2+ years.

Sorry to hear you had a not great experience in corp--SE support and onboarding support are a big part of what we are working to improve in the go to market motion, so I think that feedback is more than fair and actively being addressed as we speak. As far as manipulating reviews, that's a) not possible and b) not our objective--we take the good and tough reviews and learn from them and apply them to our culture as we evolve and grow. Will ensure to pass along your feedback to our sales team and business partnerships team, as not getting an exit is a miss on our part. -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
