    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?

      Pros

      Great vacation time, RRSP match to 3%, WFH options

      Cons

      Executive play favorites. Low salary. They did a pay review last year but I’m finding that I was still way too low for what my job was.

      Pros

      Pay is in market range and they offer 10 PTOs in addition to stats and vacation.

      Cons

      Poor employee culture Leadership lets poor managers and "bullies" get away with their behavior - so disappointing! HR Partners are ineffective, don't support the people, and can't be trusted to keep concerns confidential. Yikes! Understaffed for the amount of work they expect to be completed Owned by FoxConn - it's ONLY about the almighty buck!
