Pros

Unlimited vacation, flexible WFH policy, great product-always innovating, amazing culture, great people

Cons

2 Big ones: First, the way we get comped and promoted is a nightmare to figure out. Quit worthy even. The first line of the compensation wiki PAGE says "provide a compensation structure that is simple, transparent, and rewards over-performance". The 4K word explanation plus dozens upon dozens of questions proves that it is neither clear nor transparent. There's gotchas, claw backs, this counts for this not for that, it's ridiculous. You gotta do this + that, and you get this, but if you sell this + that under this time period you only get this, add this, divide by this, multiply by that and, well, is your head spinning yet? This really needs to get simplified. It's hard to always solve for the customer when you're also trying to not shoot yourself in the foot. Second, there is no continuous training, not just from a sales coaching/development perspective but on the product in general. It's awesome that we're always innovating on the product, but when there's no structured/programmatic training to keep up with these changes, selling can get tricky. One offs are not going to cut it. Training at a team level is not consistent either

Thank you for the feedback, and for helping our partners grow globally through your hard work. Regarding compensation structures, I'll connect with Channing to ensure he's in the loop on your feedback there. And on ongoing training, my hope is that Learn@HubSpot helps with a good portion of that--any new product launch or big updates are put into that system, so we try to make it easy for folks to engage, but you're right, it likely could be more mandatory or manager-driven. Appreciate the feedback and all you do to help HubSpot grow. Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

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.
