Pros

Working on the Support team is the best way to learn the product. Period. You get a great perspective into how customers use the platform in their daily operations, as well as the tru inner-workings of the tool itself.

Cons

Often not taken seriously be customers nor higher-tenured colleagues. We're usually the safety net for Salespeople who over-promise illusions of grandeur, or Success Managers who truly don't understand how most of the product works.

Thanks for your review and for your honest feedback--we are working really hard with the Support leadership to make sure that Support scales effectively and that we continue to solve for both the company and our customers in our approach to hiring and retaining great Support talent, so just know we are paying close attention to your final point. I would agree that Support is an amazing way to learn the product and get exposure to the world of tech, and is a critical talent pool for HubSpot more broadly. Thanks for your hard work and honest feedback, it will help us grow better as we scale. -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.
