Support engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice organizational structure, lots of training opportunities, good benefits, knowledge sharing, well proven work processes, keeping you ahead of technological trends

Cons

The job nature will be quite intense if you are working for the support team. Might have to face lots of challenges from customer which you need to take care of individually and may need to escalate to higher level support organizations which sometimes is very difficult to co-ordinate. Generally, you solely will be the owner of a problem, so be ready to deal with all aspects of it.
