HubSpot reviews

- HubSpot promotes their inclusive remote work culture through the interview process however the reality is that if you work remotely there is never any budget to fly in for customer events, milestone team catch-ups, kickoffs etc. Very quickly you feel excluded and isolated. Zoom links to company events don't solve this issue. - No recognition of the little things that contribute to a team environment. Birthdays etc. - Attrition and rep churn is like nothing I've ever seen before. Most just disappear. The concerning thing is that managers are somewhat incentivised to churn their team in a tough market as new reps have a lower ramping quota which reduces overall team quota. - Segment territories have improved recently however still a lot to go to set teams and reps up for success. - Account groups are non-existent - Deal sharking across geo regions and segments is a regular monthly occurence. Fight more with other geos and segments than you do with competitors. - No AU data centre - PIP process is ruthless and everyone lives in constant fear. Very quickly you realise that everyone goes on PIP sooner or later which highlights the fundamental issues with it.

The company is very aggressive and heavy handed with its culture which is very political and very far left radical. To provide a more welcoming and constructive environment for all of its employees, politics should (and traditionally were) kept out of the office, but not so at HubSpot. Regarding team dynamics, teams are set up to look good on paper, but managers are focused on completing rituals and voicing slogans while being indifferent to the progress and success of employees or else being too afraid of confrontation to actually make expectations clear. Supervisors have no interest in training new staff on company resources and company paradigms and merely wish to insert staff as cogs in the machine rather than preparing them for excellence and a greater contribution. There also appear to be higher management schemes to fish for justification to push employees out of the company as a backdoor approach to layoffs, rather than being straightforward.
