Pros

HubSpot has truly allowed me to learn on the job. I started in customer support (entry level HubSpotter) with a liberal arts degree and no tech knowledge. The job had its stress--answering customer calls without even knowing the platform--but there are great processes and resources set up to make sure you get the help you need. Now, I truly enjoy the troubleshooting I get to do, have time to take the free coding classes, and work with incredible people.

Cons

The onboarding process for support specialists feels like building the airplane while flying it. You learn on the job, which can be stressful at times, but after ~5 months you get to the other side of the curve and can really invest in learning how software works.

I love hearing stories of liberal arts graduates not just succeeding but thriving here--it's so important that people know that while our training is rigorous (as you noted!), it's totally doable for people with a growth mindset and willingness to learn, regardless of experience, so thank you so much for sharing your experience here, as I hope it encourages other career switchers, first gen folks, and/or people not currently considering roles in tech to apply with us! Most importantly, I would agree that Support folks and Product Experts at HubSpot are some of the kindest people in our organization, and I'm grateful to all of them (and you!) for what you do for our customers every day, thank you so much! Hope you had a lovely weekend, 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.
