Extremly Low Pay

Pros

-Great office setting & culture -Great learning experience for new grads -Ok benefits

Cons

The pay is just extremely low and does not justify all the other pros. Quotas can be unrealistic especially if you have a bad market. They constantly say that they are making changes but it never results in what the employees are asking, Its like you order a cake and complain to the baker that it doesn't taste good, so they bring it to the back and bring out the same cake but change the frosting. Same results just made prettier(restructured). It seems like they through all these tiny benefits at you to justify compensation but its really is not worth a pay cut. Pretax Transit/Parking spending account? That is awesome but its not worth pay cut. Offering equity to employees doesn't help with higher cost of living and inflation. Even with the new comp plans for BDR's it still is not up to current markets, in fact, our OTE are sometimes the base salary at other companies. It's just a major red flag when that is the number one complaint across all areas of business and they do everything but increase pay to market rates.

Go here for stress, burnout, and no work/life balance

Pros

Good pay, free food, free coffee, free beer & hard cider, nice office, good healthcare. Company-hosted parties.

Cons

Open concept office for engineering team. No 401k matching. "Unlimited" PTO instead of a generous concrete amount of vacation time. You're expected to spend free time outside of work doing work. No QA. There are a lot of all-hands meetings where upper management spits out propaganda about how great the company is. Overall, it's a very fast-paced high-stress environment, where an engineer is essentially expected to perform the job of an engineer, QA, DevOps, L3 support, and a product manager, and be as efficient as if you were just an engineer. You'll randomly get assigned responsibility for supporting other teams' code running in production without being given any time to actually understand it.

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
