Pros

Fantastic training and onboarding program. One of the best sales methodologies anywhere. Still a market leader (although gap is narrowing).

Cons

Don't let Glassdoor reviews fool you, this is a corporate sales environment and you are just another book of business. Wish the company showed the same level of compassion to their employees that they did to their customers and prospects during COVID. If you want to drive change within a company and truly stand out, this is not the place. Tenured AE's are there for a reason - they got in when HubSpot was still a scrappy startup and they've made a truckload of money after the IPO. If you're a new rep, good luck seeing that level of financial success - and they WILL lay you off if you're not hitting your numbers.

Sorry to hear we let you down here, I never like reading these. While we have a bunch of new reps succeeding and thriving on the floor, we nonetheless always take it seriously when folks feel we fall short on delivering what we promised, so thanks for the feedback-we'll keep working to improve and grow and iterate on our approach over time and work with sales leadership to ensure we support folks on every step of their journey with us. 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.
