I need to say, all of this looks great. Who wouldn’t want flexibility, great culture, established brand, remarkable leadership team, and transparency. The one thing that’s lacking? Pay. I have 8 years experience making $195K TTC as a DGTM Sales Ops Manager. HubSpot offered me $135 TTC for a GTM Program Manager role. Why so low? Has anyone else experienced this?
It’s low pay across all levels (edit: except engineering), but work life balance is outstanding if you’re comfortable with what they’re offering. They’re not quite as corporate as other companies their size, and the amount of time off throughout the year along with the piece of mind may be worth it for many people especially if they’re experiencing any burnout from their previous jobs.
Engineering gets paid pretty good though
I see. Thanks for you input, this is valuable!
Hubspot is well known for its great culture and low salary. I don't know what great culture means.
Companies that brag about their culture to abnormal levels are always just making up for shitty pay.
As a staff engineer, I'm paid more money than I know what to do with, and I get to have fun solving interesting technical problems all day (I'm not here for the culture, I'm pretty introverted and independent throughout my days). I guess I could jump ship, and get even more stupid money... but God damn, people, take a deep breath and check what you hope to get out of your time on earth. HubSpot pays well (at least I know it does for engineering). It doesn't pay top of market, but is it that important to always get top of market pay at all times, no matter the personal cost?
Very fair points. Thanks for your input! I’d say blind is heavy with engineers or very closely related roles, while not as many business roles, at least in tech. Business roles are paid all over the map. Engineers are either high or low and well documented in my opinion.
Yeah, this too. Like I get wanting to be paid fairly and I am - I don't personally need to make the literal highest dollar I possibly can. For some people that is the priority, but for others (self included) other things like WLB are more important
If you eventually decide to join HubSpot, make sure to negotiate the best you can to land a good TC. It’s the only time you’ll have leverage. Don’t expect much in terms of compensation raise and additional RSU’s in the coming years, especially for nontechnical roles.
Hi! Would you be willing to provide a referral?
I've had two raises this year. It's not typical, but it does happen.
Maybe you applied to too low of a position? If it's a program manager level 1 role (L3 most places) then 135 is in line. For your level of experience normally the title should say senior program manager, principal program manager, senior manager etc. Not sure how hubspot labels their positions though.
They offered me more than Microsoft for a senior design role
4 & 5 are BS. Rest fairly accurate but HubSpot does nothing quickly so "we're building..." is a pipe dream
