Pros

Autonomy, you are given broad problems to work and have a lot of autonomy on how to approach it and what are the proper metrics to evaluate the success of it. Management most of times is very technical so that you can have meaningful technical discussions on pros-cons of a certain approach.

Cons

Be aware that a change on priorities is never too far away.

Pros

- Everyone that works here is kind and supportive and truly wants to see you succeed. - The best work-life balance I've had in my 10+ years in tech so far. You need to work hard here, but you don't need to kill yourself doing it. - Our clients are lovely people to work with. The product is a creator tool, and there are rarely stressful fires to put out or super angry clients to manage. - You're able to focus on real CSM stuff like adoption, enablement, training, expansion, and strategy, instead of constantly being reactive, like some CSM roles. - Pay is decent, remote work benefits are nice, office is pleasant.

Cons

- Like many tech startups, onboarding is TOUGH. The company scaled quickly and onboarding was never revamped. I can't speak for the other roles here, but as a CSM I went through two weeks of high-level onboarding learning about the company, different tools, and practicing demos. - After the two week period I realized how much I DID NOT KNOW about my actual role. Managing renewal negotiations, order form management and editing, managing clients' workspaces / provisioning, etc. - Because of this gap the only option is to try and make mistakes, and hope the company has grace and patience as you mess up processes repeatedly.
