Pros

Great team, managers invest in your career growth & learning, small team so you have lots of skill development & 1:1s, you have a great opportunity to learn the in's and out's of the product before you move up in the sales org

Cons

Not much flexibility in the role like there is on every other team in HubSpot, not able to participate in a lot of HubSpot events/learning sessions because we are constantly manning the channels, sometimes you feel micromanaged, role gets tedious after 5 months because your day to day is the same (role is typically 8-10 months), no incentives even though this is a entry-level sales role.

Thanks for the feedback and for your role in helping the ISC org scale. I agree with you on the learning opportunities and career growth from the role, so glad to hear you're enjoying it and expanding your skill set while you're here! I can definitely understand the challenge of not having as much flexibility as some other teams and that it can be repetitive from time to time--in support what we've done to combat that is building in an "off-phone" hour to help build in development time, so I'll connect with sales leadership to see if there is any thought to piloting that. Thanks for the feedback and your help for our prospects and customers! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
