Pros

There is an unlimited vacation policy.

Cons

To candidates out there: don't pursue this job. The Support department's management is disorganized and either unable or unwilling to advocate for the team. They look for hard working young people excited about the company that will take on endless amounts of work and don't yet have the experience to know to speak up for themselves about how messed up things are here.

HubSpot Response

Sorry to hear that you're frustrated and clearly not happy in Support or at HubSpot. Needless to say, I hope you'll consider talking with your HR business partner about your thoughts here, as it's much easier for us to help you personally with that connection. Nonetheless, your assertion that we don't care simply isn't true--I'm working in conjunction with services and support leadership to respond to the feedback in the ENPS, so we do care very much about the well-being of our support team and its growth within the company. Support employees tend to be some of our highest impact employees and grow rapidly within the organization, so we have always invested and will continue to invest rapidly in your growth within the company and beyond. I hope we can continue this conversation in person. While I am saddened by your feedback, I'd like for us to talk and worth this through to the extent it's possible to do so. -Katie

Pros

Positive Culture: The people and immediate team members are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive. Work-Life Flexibility: A true 100% remote work environment that offers great day-to-day flexibility. Solid Perks on Paper: The benefits package explicitly includes an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

The "Unlimited PTO" Trap: While the company advertises unlimited PTO, it is impossible to take without penalty. If you take time off, you are still strictly required to make up every single call you missed while you were gone to hit your monthly metrics. Declining Direction & High Turnover: The company has faced a very rough year and is heading in the wrong direction. Morale is incredibly low, and talent is actively draining from the organization—several people are resigning entirely, going on medical leave due to stress, or desperately trying to transfer to different internal teams. Unrealistic, Extreme CSM Metrics: Customer Success Managers are being pushed to the brink by unattainable, rigid KPIs. The role has shifted from strategic relationship management to a high-volume, transactional grind. Current monthly expectations include: 80 calls per month 76% connected call rate for low-usage accounts 50% engagement rate required for at-risk accounts Stagnant Compensation: Despite the extreme increase in workload, micromanagement, and pressure, the annual raise for CSMs this year was under 2%, which fails to align with basic cost-of-living adjustments.
