Pros

The pay was pretty good

Cons

It's incredibly difficult to get promoted, unless you're a women or have a diverse gender identity, then its incredibly easy. Apparently, that's not problematic at all. They even brag about having over 50% women in leadership positions, that includes trans women, and that's how they do it. The CEO (also female) admits they're doing it on purpose, and even makes public company blog posts, and posts on women empowerment job sites about how they do it, completely oblivious to their bigotry and misandry. When the woman team lead, with only 4 years of junior level experience stepped down because it was too hard, they immediately promoted another woman with only 2 years of full experience who proceeded to ruin every project our team got due to lack of experience. Even though I had 8 years of experience, I was never even asked or considered for a promotion in that area. I found another job pretty quickly, I'm currently at the team lead level in a Texas based company. One that is not overly woke.

Not a good experience

Pros

Interesting products. Work with many different clients.

Cons

One of the worst companies I’ve ever had the misfortune of working for. Don’t let the Glassdoor reviews fool you, it’s not all lollipops and rainbows. Different sales divisions constantly gaming the system and stabbing each other in the back to steal leads. Massive amounts of red tape and bureaucracy to get paid out your commission on deals. Most people have drank the Kool-Aide and believe HubSpot is somehow changing/saving the world and the amount of self congratulatory nonsense going around is ridiculous. You sell software for businesses, you’re not curing world hunger.

Worst job I could ever imagine

Pros

Great company and great product that everyone wants. Supported employees with $1000 each during Covid to work from home

Cons

I took a 50% pay cut from my last two sales roles to take this job, because they completely sold me on this job being fun, exciting, low stress, and a great atmosphere. None of that is remotely true. This job is a constant marathon that you can't ever finish. I wake up every day miserable, wake up all throughout the night in anxiety sweats and panicking about work the next morning. I haven't had a minute where I have felt good or confident about this job since I started. The numbers are too high, and the expectations are ridiculous. Starting this job remotely has been a nightmare. If I stay in this role I will have a heart attack in the next year or two. It is absolutely ruining my relationship. I am so stressed out that I snap at my loved ones who are just trying to help. I feel completely trapped here because of COVID, and would love nothing more an another option. Any other option. I would gladly cut my pay in half AGAIN to have any semblance of quality of life. One of these days I will drop dead at this desk, and HubSpot will fill my seat with another. I refuse to refer anyone to HubSpot as I firmly believe taking a role at HubSpot is the worst move anyone in sales could make for their careers. Before HubSpot, I lived every day with joy and energy and passion. My life has been utterly awful since starting this job. HubSpot has sucked every last ounce of life out of me.
