Pros
💻 Remote-friendly: Trolley has a fully remote setup, which makes it flexible and accessible for those working from anywhere in Canada. 🧠Learning environment: As a DevOps Engineer, I’ve been exposed to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes, which are great for skill-building. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Collaborative culture: Onboarding and communication with the team were smooth. Everyone has been supportive and responsive during my first few days. 🚀 Startup energy: There’s a sense of growth and ownership. You feel like your work directly contributes to the product and platform stability.
Cons
💰 Compensation: At $10,500/year, the salary is quite low for a DevOps role in Canada, even for part-time or contract work. This may be manageable for gaining experience, but it’s not sustainable long-term unless it’s supplemented by other income. 🔄 Limited initial resources: As expected in early startup environments, some internal processes and documentation could be more streamlined.
