Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    What is it like to work at Innovation Networks?

    Pros

    It is a job. And it may just keep food on the table. If you are just starting out and you want to show you worked in IT. No problem.

    Cons

    You will learn very little here. They throw you in at the deep end. Lots of stick no carrot.

    Pros

    Great environment to work. Excellent support structure. Fellow employees were like family.

    Cons

    They could have had more staff to support us at times. Some of the clients can be very demanding. And the work is always changing, you must constantly adapt.

    The best job I've ever had

    Nov. 18, 2020 - Anonymous Employee in Vancouver, BC

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Since day one, I felt very welcomed by the team. The nature of my job makes me work very closely with upper management and because of that, I can tell that they really care about the staff - ever since the pandemic, they've tried to do virtual activities and keep the team engaged and motivated. Personally, I feel encouraged to grow and develop, and this motivates me every day to keep studying and learning.

    Cons

    Sometimes it's hard to be a very "people person" in a very technical environment! IT professionals tend to be very direct and that might lead to miscommunication *usually for lack of details).

    A great place to work

    Aug. 6, 2016 - Senior Support Engineer in Vancouver, BC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great location but still close to Vancouver, plenty of free parking, variety of technologies to explore through the clients' infrastructure, totally approachable CEO and managers, good team to work with, great career prospects and free training. if you are applying for a junior tech, you will have the chance to learn from helpful senior engineers and get valuable experience (and salary increases - provided you get some certs too). If you are applying for a senior tech, you will have a good team to work with. If you are applying for managerial positions, you will have the best CEO to report to!

    Cons

    As most of the MSPs I have worked for, there are some points that could be improved (for example better project coordination (especially if the team is growing fast). innovation networks has a steady growth and the managers are doing everything possible to achieve the best performance, keeping the staff happy.

    Great place to learn, not good long term.

    Feb. 27, 2013 - Remote Support Tech in Richmond, BC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    There is a personality test in the interview. If you have the right personality they will hire you with little previous experience or certifications. They are good at teaching new techs. Lots of different clients ensure you get a wide area of experience. Stays interesting for the first year or so.

    Cons

    After about a year and a half there is not much more to learn. High turnover means you can be a senior tech very quickly. It was a great learning experience but there is little reason to stay after that. Its frustrating having to clean up after new employees mistakes all the time.

    Pros

    Family type environment, great team work. Helped provide some of the best tech solutions of my career. Got to work on new technology, and always changing environments. Team took the time to share and teach.

    Cons

    Some employees took advantage of the managements good will. Bad long term clients that put undue stress on the day to day of the environment. Few bad employees made environment negative when management was not around. Great place, didn't know how good I had it until I left!

    Pros

    Many good techs and great place to learn. Get to work on almost anything for all the clients. Great people on management team.

    Cons

    Too many fires to put out and a few bad apples that get away with anything. No salary increases and lots of on-call and after hours work. Not enough staff.
