I keep seeing these discussions pop up and I’m really confused about what’s happening. There seems to be a lot of drama around top performing sales reps apparently taking qualified leads from other team members or somehow getting ahead of the normal process. Can someone explain what this is all about? I’ve been reading through different threads and posts but I still don’t understand the full picture. Are these issues common at HubSpot or is this just some isolated incidents that got blown out of proportion? I’m considering applying there so I want to know if this is something I should be worried about or if it’s just typical sales team politics that happens everywhere.
I’ve noticed RepVue discussions about HubSpot mostly hit on lead routing and territory management - nothing unique to them. Senior reps supposedly get better leads or game the CRM system. After years in SaaS sales, I can tell you this happens everywhere with complex sales processes. HubSpot’s transparency culture just means you hear about it more than other companies. Most complaints are about unfair lead distribution, not broken compensation. If you’re applying, focus on team dynamics during interviews instead of getting wrapped up in online drama.
Been at HubSpot for about two years now. The RepVue drama is mostly BS, but there’s some truth mixed in. The real issue isn’t lead stealing - it’s how inbound leads get assigned during busy quarters. Some reps figured out the timing patterns for when marketing qualified leads drop and game the system. Management keeps tweaking the algorithm but hasn’t solved it yet. Compensation’s actually pretty fair compared to other places I’ve worked. What really matters is which team you land on - some managers are way better at making sure everyone gets their fair share. When you interview, ask direct questions about lead routing and territory assignments. Company culture’s solid overall, just don’t expect sales ops to be perfect.
