If you are a designer, don't

Pros

Good salary and remote work

Cons

There is little room for innovation in this environment, which is highly political. Many individuals in legacy positions, who should not hold these roles, remain entrenched. If you are a designer, it's best to walk away. Seriously. You won't gain meaningful projects for your portfolio and will spend much time justifying your work to your manager. Unfortunately, your manager primarily focuses on their next round of RSUs and upcoming sabbatical; they are not there to support you. Life is too short; you deserve better.

Pros

I came into HubSpot excited, motivated, and ready to face challenges head-on. But nearly 10 months in, I feel completely drained—not from the work itself, but from the culture and structural issues that make success feel out of reach. The system HubSpot uses to manage rep capacity and account sourcing is fundamentally broken. It heavily favors tenured reps who already have stacked books and deep-rooted relationships with partners and RevOps. These reps dominate the leaderboard, while new hires are left scrambling for scraps, with little support and almost no chance to catch up. It's not a level playing field, and it shows—only the top 5-10% of reps (almost all long-tenured) are regularly hitting quota in the entire Small Business org.

Cons

Management culture makes it worse. When you're doing well, you’re celebrated. The moment you have a dip, you're suddenly treated like you're incompetent or lazy. There’s no grace, no curiosity, no support—just judgment. I’ve never experienced micromanagement like this before. Managers sit on your calls, dictate what you say, and ultimately try to run the deal themselves. It’s demoralizing. You're not treated as a professional with experience—you're treated like a puppet. It’s become clear that there simply isn’t enough opportunity or business to go around. Overhiring has created massive internal competition, and leadership seems to be aware of the problem—but nothing changes. I wanted to grow here. I wanted to build something. But HubSpot has made it clear that I can’t. I’ll likely have to move on soon if I want to actually be trusted, supported, and given a fair shot at success.
