Revolving Door - Technical Support Engineer PistolStar Employee Review

This position has given me an excellent place to develop my career. The company invested in HubSpot, which is a great skill to have. HubSpot has a good training program. I create workflows to nurture the inbound leads. It's also fun to help to setup trade shows (many are small user groups). Other responsibilities include creating quarterly newsletters and press releases. I personally enjoy the company bowling parties and birthday celebrations. The company is into food celebrations around the holidays. For example, we all bring in food for the Thanksgiving breakfast and Cinco de mayo. Everyone got dressed up for our Halloween party!

You must juggle many projects at once. But a good way to learn how to multitask. You may not get timely performance reviews, but they give salary raises. I got one 6-months in.

It is a great place to learn and grow professionally with passionate and creative co-workers. Being a smaller company means that you are exposed to many things that would be compartmentalized in a larger company. You also have extraordinary opportunities to provide ideas and insight then work to make them a reality. Lastly, you can make a direct impact with customers and see the results of your hard work. This type of visibility and influence is simply not possible in larger companies.

It is a dynamic environment so responsibilities and tasks can shift. You have to be ready to take ownership. The training never stops and you will always be learning new skills. It is not a company at which you can fade into the background and remain anonymous.
