Pros

As an Inbound Marketing Specialist, I appreciate the clear standards and structure within our sales organization. I know exactly what is expected of me, and in return I understand exactly what I need to do to get to the next level. I have worked in a number of quota bearing sales roles in the past; it is a breathe of fresh air to be part of the HubSpot sales team. I feel like not only am I contributing, but also my colleagues around me, they are contributing. Everyone works hard. Personally, this is an extremely motivating work environment - to know that "I'm not the only one" giving it 110%.

Cons

While it is great to promote from within, I wish there was more clarity & visibility into internal promotions - understanding the root cause for these promotions - more than just the normal highlights, a couple examples & top accomplishments of an individual, but the real "why" behind the promotion. I think more transparency around internal promotions would soften rumors of 'favoritism' and 'promotions based on who you know, who likes you'.

Pros

Very cool company that is truly going places. The software is excellent and the C-level guys are very transparent about everything from financials to where they envision the company to be in 5, 10, 20+ years. They recently added a much larger fully stocked kitchen and they do make other attempts to make the work life more enjoyable.

Cons

If you are in sales, it is extremely stressful. You should just wave goodbye to having a life, because your life from 7am to 7pm is now 100% HubSpot. The monthly quota is very difficult to meet, and if you have four months sub-quota, then you are at risk of being put on the performance plan. The turnover is high and they recently made it more difficult to get promoted. Also, they try to sell the "no vacation policy" as an opportunity to responsibly take unlimited amount of vacation. However, since you are on a monthly quota, you basically find yourself NEVER being able to take vacation. Fortunately, they recognized this. But the way they combatted this was by increasing the monthly quota and saying once you've been there for a year then you can take two months at 50% quota (and still get paid 100%...if you hit your number). Ask about 80% of the sales reps there, and they will tell you that this job is insanely stressful and will take over your life.

Pros

Everyone was smart, talented, and very analytical. Very open culture, easy to talk with anyone on the team. Management promoted talent from within. What more could a marketer want than to work with an entire company of top-talent marketers!

Cons

Sometimes I drank too much of the HubSpot kool-aid. If you don't like to party and hang out with co-workers all the time it could be hard to digest. Not very family friendly in the early days, but I'm sure that's changed as the company has grown significantly.
