    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?

      Great Place to Work, Very Transparent Interview Process

      Jan 4, 2022 - Developer 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Ownership over your work. - Flexibiliy. - Super Talented crew of people. - They truly care about your career goals and want to help you become better.

      Cons

      - Team members all over the world so co-ordinating overlapping hours requires a bit of compromise for proper communication. Not that big of an issue really, as everyone is very friendly and accommodating.

      A fun company, and a very fun work

      May 25, 2023 - Marketing Artist in Paris
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined Voodoo as Marketing Artist, coming all the way from Mexico, without having family or friends in Paris. Thankfully, Voodoo is a wonderful place to work that offered me a fun (and kind) atmosphere, so I feel really good working here everyday. Voodoo is a fun company, and my work is very fun as well.

      Cons

      At the moment, I have no regrets or cons to say about the company, the people or their methods. It have been very easy and satisfying to wake up every morning to come to work, even if I live in another town that is located 1 hour from the company.

      Unfocused Executives & Strategy of high turnover

      May 16, 2023 - Senior Product Manager in Paris
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great offices Cool colleagues Trendy perks Good brand name (still) for developers

      Cons

      - Strategic vision for core gaming unit is hollow. PMs are made to chase past successes without concrete roadmap for KPIs in new hybrid casual market that has been dramatically changed by IDFA. - Executive Mgmt is no longer focused on gaming and is embarking on blatant diversification strategy. Most of their time is now spent on new initiatives in music and video (where the argument for competitive advantage is quite thin), M&A, personal investments in heath start ups like aura.care (creepily similar to theranos) and surfing - hiring practices are flagrantly abusive wherein 8 month trial periods are systematically used as a cover the time that an initiative can be validated by mgmt or not without passing onto CDI.

      Very good, and improving

      Jan 17, 2023 - Senior Brand Designer in Paris

      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Top Tier salary - Top Tier office in the center of Paris - Flexible remote policy - Full autonomy on projects - Interesting challenges - Brilliant coworkers - Feedback culture

      Cons

      - The historical core business of Voodoo (Hyper Casual gaming) is going down - Because of this, Voodoo's strategy is to diversify and we already see it's working very well. But be prepared to work in degraded conditions in the meantime (cost reductions, no place for low performers, ...)

      Wonderful place to be (4 months in)

      Sept 29, 2022 - Senior Data Engineer in Lyon
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Challenging problems to solve (petabytes of data to go through) - Competent colleagues - Relative freedom of solving problems with your preferred tools - Full remote for everyone (even people close to the office) - Great office in case one needs to use it (located in Paris central district) - Excellent work-life balance - Unlimited vacation (automatically approved, haven't seen anyone abusing it. And if one takes less vacation than the minimum they are due by law (+ RTTs), they are "forced" to take a vacation) - Good hardware + perks - Somehow flat hierarchy (I'm basically a CTO and a manger below CEO)

      Cons

      - Lengthy interview process (something like 7 stages), but everyone goes through it so your colleagues will be as competent as it gets. - This year's annual meetup is only 1 day instead of 3 days like it was last year (because bad things are happening around the world). But is this a con?
