Pros

Flexibility, and a lot of financial upside for sales reps.

Cons

Hubspot probably doesn't want to pay commission to its partners, so since 2017 I've seen Hubspot put higher restrictions on the channel. It's sad. I would say, HubSpot is a great place to work, but don't apply to be part of the channel team as it is my opinion that Hubspot doesn't want us there.

Sorry to hear you feel this way--I actually think of our partner program as being very generous to our partners, and it's evident in the growth of that program. Nonetheless, the last thing we want is for you as an employee to feel like our partners aren't growing better, so I hope you'll consider talking with us in person about how we help on this front. The Partner Program is critical to our success, as is the channel team, so would love to be a part of helping ensure both your success and those of our global partners. Sincerely, 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.
