Pros

- training - colleagues and peers / good culture

Cons

- market fit for SMB in Canada isn’t the best. Most companies can’t afford the higher tiers of Hubspot with the exchange rate and these are the tiers you need to sell in order to hit quota consistently at full ramp - attainment at full ramp is low, lots of turnover - hard to find good solid accounts to prospect into - having to wear a CS hat for the first 2- 3 months of selling to a customer - the product keeps changing/ along with pricing. Small new limitations consistently put in place to force lowers level customers to upgrade. Very sneaky with this. - monthly quotas, it’s feels like you have no room to have a bad quarter if you don’t hit 2 months in a row you’re threatened with PiPs - compensation is low, compared to the AEs at the same company in the states. Also for working overtime every week and how challenging this role is we don’t feel fairly compensated to say the least

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.
