Pros

The unlimited vacation and office perks like the barista are nice. My coworkers were smart and hardworking. Cross-collaboration - although strained from growing pains - is still achievable with the right channels.

Cons

HubSpot’s Customer Success org is struggling. They’ve had high burnout in this role due to larger than average customer ratios (think 1:200+ in a bad quarter) and impossible targets. You can only offer a certain level of service at those ratios, which makes it impossible to hit target. This leads to high turnover rates, which causes even higher ratios. Instead of solving the problem, managers blame it on Customer Success Managers not working hard enough and don’t take the concerns of over half of the org seriously, which leads to higher burnout and higher turnover. You see where I’m going with this. Customers can feel the stress in this org, too. HubSpot’s a good name to have on your brand, but if you need a job only stay for a year and then move on. The “Best Place to Work” award doesn’t apply to the Customer Success role. There’s a reason why there’s always a “Customer Success Manager” position open, and it’s not because they’re growing in this space (they’re actually trying to cut down on overall headcount in services). Did I mention lower than average industry pay, too?

This was a tough review to read, but thanks for sharing your perspective. A few notes: -The CS org is still very much growing to support our customers--I'm not sure when you left, but I think you would see/hear a lot of things this year that support our customers and the CS team more broadly in terms of enablement -Glad to hear you still feel cross-collaboration is possible in the org, I would agree, and I think we are contuing to invest on that front across product and services, services and sales, and other key groups throughout the organization. -On compensation and ratios, we are always benchmarking those roles against current data, but appreciate the feedback and will continue to keep it top of mind. Thanks for the feedback, it helps us grow better. -Katie

Pros

The flexibility and ability to work from home is great. The office space is comfortable and accommodating.

Cons

You don’t always feel valued by management, compensation is on the lower end of the spectrum.

Thanks for the feedback, and for calling out our commitment to flexibility. As it relates to Support Management, the Support and Services team (with a lot of collaboration with our team) have done a ton of work to invest there--we've increased the mix of internal and external managers, hired an amazing leader for EMEA support to help us scale, and added what we offer in terms of training, support, and growth opportunities internally for Support. So while there is always more work we can do, I feel we've made a lot of investments on this front--I hope we continue to improve and grow there, and make you proud you made the decision to join HubSpot and Support and grow your career with us. Thanks for the feedback and for helping us grow, Katie
