Pros

HubSpot Support is a really amazing team. Everyone has eachothers backs and as far as I know there is no backstabbing or nepotism. The perks are amazing and I enjoy coming into work every day and being able to proudly tell others about my place of employment.

Cons

The salary. The salary is so low. It is nearly impossible to live in Boston on 35k a year. This is a very technical job and Support Engineers know more about how to use and troubleshoot our product than anyone else in the company, and the salary/level of respect we get does not reflect that.

Hi there, Thank you for your thoughtful review. Before I dive into some of the specifics, let me first say that I think of our support team as anything BUT a call center--in fact, the chart showing how the support team has grown within the organization is my favorite stop on any tour I give of our Cambridge offices. I'm very proud we work at a company where our customers get remarkable people on the phone when they need it AND where every team in the company is clamoring to hire support engineers because they know our product and how to problem solve so effectively, so don't think I (or anyone else on our leadership team) takes that for granted. With regard to pay, we invested heavily a few years ago in the growth side of the equation so that we could really ensure that support engineers get the training they need to succeed not just in support but throughout the organization and their careers, so while as an entry level salary it may not seem compelling at face value, I think the upside far outweighs similar jobs at other companies. With that said, happy to chat with you about how we can solve for your perception on the respect side of the equation because it's something I care deeply about, so let me know if you'd like to connect offline there. In the meantime, thank you for all that you do--our customers' success and our company's growth are a direction reflection of your hard work and impact, so thank you! -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.
