Pros

Remote option and Decent pay

Cons

Any positive review you see from anyone in sales either started prior to the pandemic (and be Yamani came to HubSpot) or is too new to understand what they signed on to. Quota will go up twice a year. Your territory will decrease twice a year. Demand will never increase. Saturated market. 80% of your day as an account executive will be doing BDR type job functions, but you will be required to sell mid market sized deals. HubSpot offer a FREE suite of tools. People will book time on your calendar to talk about FREE tools. Remember you are in sales… so you will have to delete these invites and make a lot of people mad. The sales culture here is ATROCIOUS. Zero work life balance. You will be consumed with HubSpot and hitting a monthly quota. If you are married or have a kid- do not even consider working here.

Pros

Awesome Diversity & Inclusion events and initiatives. Ample opportunities for inter-company networking. Good benefits and perks, such as: stocked kitchen with healthy food options, barista bar, etc. Friendly employees across all departments.

Cons

Unfortunately, the environment in the Customer Success team does not align with the culture that HubSpot so proudly promotes. More often than not, CSMs work an unrealistic and unhealthy amount of hours in order to keep afloat. It is common to witness CSMs trying to one up one another by highlighting how much administrative work they accomplish in one business day and how quickly they manage their call volume and overall workload. These tendencies were then encouraged by management rather than focusing on the quality of our efforts with customers. HubSpot endorses that their staff “work smarter, not harder”, but these rituals are both toxic and taxing. A majority of the Customer Success Manager’s job is to juggle the sheer volume of new customers, which unmanageable long term. There are far too many administrative tasks and unnecessary meetings, which distract from “Solving for the Customer” and allow for less time to be spent on the critical component of relationship building with our customer base.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and sorry to hear that we let you down with your overall HubSpot experience. As you may already know, we have new leadership in Services and with it is a renewed focus on customer-centricity and creating a culture and environment that really helps our whole success org focus on the customer or partner. My hope is that some of the key investments we are making in operations can allow CSMs to truly solve for the customer. The Services team and People Ops team are partnering to work on some upward feedback surveys around management and leadership that I hope will address some of the concerns you outlined, but if you want to connect to share feedback directly with our team on your experience, we'd love to make time to make that happen offline if you're open to doing so. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback-even when it's not fun to read it helps us learn and grow better as an organization. Sincerely, Katie

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Sorry for the negative experience you had at HubSpot. We are indeed hiring quickly, and as such there were some growing pains. But, we take the issue of culture very seriously and are investing even more this year on that front. This includes putting two new leaders into that group. Their mission will be to improve the experience of joining and working at HubSpot. We are also stepping up our efforts on training and onboarding. Wish you the best in your future pursuits. Regards, Dharmesh Shah Co-Founder/CTO, HubSpot
