Pros

Salary is ok and they provide equipment.

Cons

Majority of my team wanted to quit after only a few months on the job. Its not as described. The scope of support you have to provide is completely unreasonable and they say that other team members will help but they usually didnt have time for newbies. Theres also a strong emphasis on sales which was never mentioned in the job description. Also you have to juggle up to 3 customers at once. Customers realise youre not only helping them and they get angry.

Pros

- decent culture built around supporting entrepreneurship - availability of AI tooling - fully remote

Cons

- low and non-competitive pay compared to other tech companies - backwards comp and impact system they think is "innovative" and unique, but it's really just a system to keep comp and titles capped
