Pros

Pros - Good sales enablement stack - Nice hardware for us to use - Decent Work/Life balance - HubSpot on your resume - Week of rest in July - VQR for sales reps to get quota relief when they take PTO

Cons

- Something about asking new hires to leave reviews irritates me. HubSpot has enough new hires to manipulate/skew Glassdoor. I'd recommend sorting out one-line five-star reviews. They are not genuine. - Leadership is atrocious. The worst that I've ever seen. See, there are two kinds of people at HubSpot in Sales. 1. Those with lots of RSUs understand the HubSpot game (Drink the Cool-Aid and know your place). 2. Folks who want to build their career at a great company are left out to dry. - Underpaid relative to unrealistic quota. They are not honest about quota attainment and failure is encouraged in many ways as it helps leaders exceed their goals. - Product only competes competitively in one area (Marketing) - Turnover is really bad. No one brings their authentic self to work as you will be judged and mistreated as a result. Believe me, you do not want to be the cranky wheel at HubSpot. - Worst AE support I've seen. No one at HubSpot will help you. Not your manager, not your SE (they don't do demos or much at all). You will succeed or fail and it's 100% on you. - No exit interview upon departure. - Fought company to get earned commissions. - Managers have off-sites, reps stay and work. Never met a HubSpot colleague in my 2+ years.

Sorry to hear you had a not great experience in corp--SE support and onboarding support are a big part of what we are working to improve in the go to market motion, so I think that feedback is more than fair and actively being addressed as we speak. As far as manipulating reviews, that's a) not possible and b) not our objective--we take the good and tough reviews and learn from them and apply them to our culture as we evolve and grow. Will ensure to pass along your feedback to our sales team and business partnerships team, as not getting an exit is a miss on our part. -Katie

Pros

There was lots of free stuff, I guess.

Cons

When people tell you this place is a cult, they aren't kidding. It's a glorified adware company that's convinced it's changing the world. Everyone is a ladder-climbing, two-faced snake who will rat you out to management the second you aren't acting "hubspotty" (a word they actually regularly use which at its core means showing up to work smiling and happy to take whatever they give you). They consistently underpay their support workers, and when tasked with brutal overtime, compensate them with pizza. They act like they care about progressive issues but don't actually care about anything other than the bottom line; it's all a PR stunt.

Pros

My coworkers are fantastic. Everyone from direct people managers on down are truly fantastic people and I've built many friendships with amazing people in my time here. Remote work is always great!

Cons

HubSpot used to brag that they were the Best Place to Work in America. They don’t seem to be even trying for that anymore. Our eNPS score was the lowest it's ever been, and the entire Support department regularly gets told that we're the backbone of the company, but we get treated so poorly that everybody seems to be packing up and leaving. If you're a minority, they aren't interested in paying more than lip service to diversity. If you're experiencing discrimination, they don’t seem interested in doing anything about it, because there's no business need to do so. AI has taken over large percentages of Support tickets, leaving the difficult work to humans. We're burned out, and the company's response to that burnout is a new pilot program where we're told to work harder, while they try to sugarcoat it as being easier. We are underpaid for our work, and they keep telling us that we're paid average for our role. Support members have very little chance of moving into positions in other departments, and the seeming hard focus on hiring in countries outside the US in order to pay them less for the same work, means there's no chance of advancement.
