Pros

-best product on the market -solid leadership team -culture is a pro and a con. It's a pro because everyone is extremely helpful and management genuinely wants you to succeed. I'll explain why it's a con below -pay is decent

Cons

-Culture is also a con because it's extremely "cult-like". If you work here, be prepared to not question anything and mindlessly chant the company catchphrases in unison with your coworkers. If you're not 100% bought in to the idea that hubspot is the best thing since sliced bread, you won't fit in. Hubspot also makes it clear that they strongly value diversity, but certainly not of thought.. Even in regards to politics, which they intertwine into the workplace too much for comfort. There is still something of a "boy's club" here, but to hubspot's credit, they are trying to change that. -Because of the CAM comp structure (and direct seller collaboration system), your success entirely depends on the book of partners you're given. You can be the greatest sales rep in the world, channel or otherwise, but if you don't have partners who are motivated, know how to collaborate with the direct sellers, and know how to sell the software itself, you are SOL. And if this is the case, hubspot simply tells you to do better instead of looking inward at the structural problems within the CAM org. Monthly quota exacerbates this TL;DR: hubspot is a fast-growing, innovative company with an amazing product and leadership team. I'm sure other roles have less (or different) problems, but if you are considering the CAM role, I'd recommend proceeding with caution and preparing yourself for a lot of work/effort that may not pay off.

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.
