Pros
The product was really solid. Difficult to learn everything at first but unlike SaaS roles I’ve been in, we actually delivered physical products, so it felt a lot more rewarding when following up with customers. Especially as the Production Team was really delivering well in the last few months before I left. The people around you actually knew the industry too, as they were quite a mature team. So you aren't constantly explaining the basics to your own team. If you were hitting your numbers, you get noticed and rewarded quickly. There’s a lot of room to move up if you’re hungry.
Cons
It's a slightly complicated industry and product at first. So it takes a little time to get up to speed. The targets were definitely ambitious, so it’s not the kind of place where you can just coast; you do have to be on it!
