Pros

- Best training/onboarding and benefits I've seen in the industry - Autonomy when it comes to work/life balance and your working location. HubSpot knows when you are showing results, you don't need to micromanage - Willing to hire non-SaaS salespeople for their sales roles. As someone who broke into SaaS sales with HubSpot, I will forever be in their debt as it is extremely difficult to break into software if you don't have a background in it. If you are coachable and can work in their environment, they will see your potential.

Cons

- Base pay is relatively low compared to their peers - The process of securing and keeping sales leads can be a bit dog-eat-dog, causing infighting among segments. - Some of the messaging can be too politically motivated, bordering on performative.

Thanks for the feedback and for being a HubSpot alum. Good to know we are walking the walk on autonomy, so thanks for calling that out. On lead friction I was under the impression that had improved, but will continue to check in with our teams on the ground on it, so thanks for calling it out. -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.
