Growth Arms - Top VCs

Curious if anyone had info on working at a growth arm of a top VC. Recently came across Sequoia's page and saw they had a team dedicated to Growth.

Do any other top VCs have dedicated teams like Sequoia? I was also interested to know anything about comp/progression/exits/wlb - particularly at the junior level. Lastly, any general thoughts on whether it'd be an overall good gig, or would you pass on these types of roles?

Heard that VC isn't worth it from a comp perspective unless you are switching over at the Partner level. Wanted to know if the comp is also substantially lower at VC Growth teams - at the junior level.
