I've seen a few comments mention recent management changes and terrible quota attainment.... Is quota hard to hit because there's no demand or because management makes it difficult to achieve?

I’ve been told HubSpot uses MEDDIC and Sandler for sales training. Do you receive certifications and does leadership actually allow you to be truly consultative in the way that you sell? I want to ensure my outreach if I join can be thoughtful and tailored. Curious specifically about SMB.

Questions in relation to Mid-Market AE at Hubspot UK. - Is the remit really up to 200 employees? Seems hard to hit if the case. - What is attainment like during RAMP vs outside of RAMP - Rated quite high on Glassdoor, is this actually reflective? - Are offers really fixed or can you negotiate?
