HubSpot Reviews

Pros

I've been at HubSpot now for almost 4 years and there's nowhere else I've even thought about working in that time. Why? HubSpot is a great place to work. I feel like I'm valued. I have a lot of autonomy in how and when and where I work. I feel strongly about the mission of the company. All in all, I'm extremely happy here.

Pros

-First and foremost, the people are great to work with and we've achieved this by hiring for HEART. Google the "HubSpot Culture Code" for more info.

-Career growth: We're a growing company and we have many challenges we're looking to solve as we scale, we're dead serious about solving them.

-Product: Our business is strong and our product keeps getting better. We care about our customers first, that leads to great outcomes for our business.

-Facilities: Our offices are designed to make you feel comfortable and happy to be at work, we aim to make HubSpot the best place to do your best work and that extends beyond our facilities.

-D&I: We have ongoing initiatives and resources dedicated to ensuring people feel comfortable to be their whole selves at work. It's a priority for all managers and teams.

There are so many more pros that I can mention, but these stand out for me after being here for almost 3 years.

Pros

HubSpot has changed my life... and that is not hyperbole. When people ask me why I continue to work at HubSpot, this is how I answer: (1) I'm in love with our mission. We really help businesses grow and that's a powerful force. (2) The people. HubSpot has a rare breed of people that are insanely smart and helpful. That is a rare combination. (3) We're winning. We continue to grow quickly and that means there is a lot of opportunities. Plus, it just feels great to be on a winning team and in a winning culture.

So when I say HubSpot has changed my life it's been about amazing experiences to learn with wonderful people around me going after an amazing mission to help millions of businesses grow better. And yes, my career and earnings have exceeded all my dreams. HubSpot has changed my life.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. Continue to be brave about the direction of HubSpot and pragmatic in your approach.

Pros

Completely results driven promotion structure - if you perform you get promoted period. Typically use to the politics behind in-line promotions from other sales organizations so it's a breath of fresh air to know if you bring value to the company, are a high-producer and a good person to work with you will be rewarded.

I really love the people I work with.. we higher on culture really well and i've seen fantastic sales people not hired as they weren't seen as culture fits.

Unlimited leave and solid balance on work/life balance

Very flat structure - exposure and access to Execs is very easy

One of the most transparent organizations ever, the humility of the C-suite, the regular candid posts and communications on both wins/losses is just amazing considering the size of our org

Top class inside-sales training, you spend a lot of time overseas in product training and have regular training after you come back as well. Once you return you have a senior sales rep to shadow and you are also put on a lengthy "ramp" to get you ready for a full quota.

Regular sales competitions with equity, cash, travel prizes

The product/vision is something you can really get behind if you are passionate about helping businesses grow

Advice to Management

Keep the heart of HubSpot Sydney there

People want to be inspired or aspire to be like their execs, as such management needs to always be held to a greater standard and contribute to growth of the employees. You want to look at management and see examples of people to aspire and look up too.

Pros

Good place to work for, great benefits and recently fixed pay so you can expect to be happy from a compensation perspective.

If you’re a high achiever, expect good stock incentives, commission and international travel perks, some of the best I have seen.

You can expect some fairly good flexibility when it comes to taking extended holidays, time off and working away, depending on the manager.

Really good senior leadership outside of ANZ, although you don’t get to meet a lot of them, expect to still be guided by smart people.

When leaders do respect you, they do everything they can to help your career at HubSpot. It’s a great atmosphere in that sense.

You will have a crazy amount of people who want to talk to you and love HubSpot. In order to win here, expect to work hard and smart, be a great at telling stories and have a consultive sales approach.

Advice to Management

We have a great educational fund that can be used to up-skill, yet 4 new managers and no one has used it?

To me, this makes no sense. It almost defeats the purpose of having this incentive. We need to relax on culture and focus more on productivity, rep development and sales. We are in sales, not PR. I don’t care if we have free drinks and boat parties if we miss target and have to have stupid conversations about it all the time.

We live in a weird world where reps get upset if you micro management them on activity, but we’re in sales? If you don’t like people asking you every week about your number or activity done, do us a favour and move to a non sales role. You will sleep better at night as well.

Focus on hiring older, more mature people. Ironic coming from someone young however it’s important to have people that understand sales, are experienced and can offer a different perspective. Make BDR promo pathway harder. It’s ridiculous 21 year olds feel entitled to be an AE after 12 months, with little sales experience and we wonder why they don’t do well. This is particularly important this year due to the bad start we have had. One again, hire the best talent, stop worrying about internal promotions.

Pros

- Good Culture
- Fast Paced
- Good benefits / perks

Advice to Management

Streamline your interview process to respect peoples time, and pay your staff above market rates. Culture only goes so far when you're working in a frat house.

Pros

Before I joined I was skeptical about the culture and perks being a ploy to mask a less-than-ideal place to work (as is the case with lots of companies) but HubSpot really delivers on its promise of a fantastic culture.

What most people are most attracted to (unlimited vacation etc.) is actually not what keeps me in my job. I get to work with the best group of people, both here in Sydney and all over the world in our other offices. I have a fantastic manager who pushes me to achieve things I never thought I could (or rather that I never *think* I can, until I look back and see how far I've come).

The Sydney office has a particularly special thing going on. Amazing people, tons of fun, but serious about the goals we have and all the hard work it's going to take us to get there.

Advice to Management

Keep the bar for talent exceptionally high as we grow -- it's what makes HubSpot such a valuable learning experience for anyone working here.

Pros

Hubspot uses the product they sell. That says a lot
Amazing individuals work here - they're all very hard-working, supportive and fun
Huge opportunities for growth and promotions - Everything is very transparent

Advice to Management

Continue fostering the high-paced, motivated atmosphere that Hubspot rewards but continue making it feel like a safe space to work, a place where failure is accepted and human weakness/errors aren't causes for embarrassment or shame.

Pros

HubSpot has done an amazing job at balancing what's important. There's so much autonomy within the organisation, paired with carefully thought-out and rolled-out processes.

I started as an Inbound Sales Coordinator and am now in a Principal BDR role. The promotion path in sales is incredibly transparent, and hard work is both recognised and rewarded. My managers have challenged me and been incredibly supportive since day 1.

The people at HubSpot are some of the best you'll ever meet, both incredibly helpful and hard-working. The culture code isn't a PR front to get people in the door — sure, it's a little cheesy, but it really is embedded within the entire org which is so wonderful to be a part of.

It's hard not to love your job when you work at HubSpot.

Pros

Growing business providing useful tools to small and medium businesses

Advice to Management

Pay your employees better
