Sorry to hear that and thanks for the review--my experience with our sales team is that they are competitive with themselves but collaborative with one another, so much so that I frequently hear reps helping each other with deals and managers helping reps from other teams support prospects and customers, so my hope is that your experience was an exception not the rule, but happy to connect offline if you'd like to chat further on this. I would agree that the sales team is a high growth opportunity for folks who are high performers, so glad to hear that was the case for you here! Sincerely, Katie

Pros

HubSpot Support is a really amazing team. Everyone has eachothers backs and as far as I know there is no backstabbing or nepotism. The perks are amazing and I enjoy coming into work every day and being able to proudly tell others about my place of employment.

Cons

The salary. The salary is so low. It is nearly impossible to live in Boston on 35k a year. This is a very technical job and Support Engineers know more about how to use and troubleshoot our product than anyone else in the company, and the salary/level of respect we get does not reflect that.

Hi there, Thank you for your thoughtful review. Before I dive into some of the specifics, let me first say that I think of our support team as anything BUT a call center--in fact, the chart showing how the support team has grown within the organization is my favorite stop on any tour I give of our Cambridge offices. I'm very proud we work at a company where our customers get remarkable people on the phone when they need it AND where every team in the company is clamoring to hire support engineers because they know our product and how to problem solve so effectively, so don't think I (or anyone else on our leadership team) takes that for granted. With regard to pay, we invested heavily a few years ago in the growth side of the equation so that we could really ensure that support engineers get the training they need to succeed not just in support but throughout the organization and their careers, so while as an entry level salary it may not seem compelling at face value, I think the upside far outweighs similar jobs at other companies. With that said, happy to chat with you about how we can solve for your perception on the respect side of the equation because it's something I care deeply about, so let me know if you'd like to connect offline there. In the meantime, thank you for all that you do--our customers' success and our company's growth are a direction reflection of your hard work and impact, so thank you! -Katie

Pros

The amount of autonomy you are offered right out of the gate gives you a feeling of true mutual respect. There is an underlying message of "you are here for a reason and we are so excited to see what you can do!" It's a fast-paced and fun environment where there's always a new project to tackle and a strong team to support you in the process. The commitment to true transparency encourages HubSpotters to ask questions and hear real answers. HubSpot also understands that not everyone works in the same way and really solves for the employee by offering both tangible and more abstract opportunities to build a work environment that's best for you (e.g. nomad desks, unlimited vacations, common areas for co-working).The flexibility and true investment in its people makes HubSpot a great place to build a career and has so far been a great place to find my professional voice.

Cons

With the company growing quickly it can be really easy to be be complacent and not get to know too many of your colleagues. Continuing to encourage these interactions will be invaluable!

So sorry for the delay, I thought I responded to this one, but apparently missed it--thank you for the thoughtful review, and I like your point about understanding that not everyone works the same way, our facilities and IT teams do a great job facilitating that across the company around the world, and I think it's a significantly underrated benefit of working here. On the diversity front, I would agree with your feedback--we are investing heavily here as I hope you have seen/felt with some of the initiatives in play, and will continue to invest there as we grow and scale. Thanks for your help and for choosing HubSpot, we are very grateful you did. -Katie
