Pros

Incredible training, an unprecedented amount of transparency in the company, tons of intentional strategies that are put in place to develop the sales team both personally and professionally. Everyone I’ve met so far is very friendly, helpful, and empathetic. Being surrounded by super smart people that are all aligned towards the hubspot mission provides a sense of: we’re all apart of something greater than ourselves.

Cons

Diversity is definitely the first thing that comes to mind. There are not a lot of people or color ESPECIALLY in sales. There has been a couple things put in place to make the sales org more inclusive, however, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. A second con would have to be the lack of opportunities to work remote in sales. Most tech companies offer plenty of opportunities to work remote while still developing their career. Unless hubspot is able to come up with more opportunities to work remote, they will lose talent to other tech companies.

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.
