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?

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Digital Realty in Sep 2022

Interview

Contacted by HR/Recruiter for an initial gating interview, which went well. She indicated that she would be sending my information with positive recommendation for next steps to the hiring manager and that I should expect direct contact for subsequent interviews. There was no further contact, I reached out for status a few weeks later and her response was she was unsure of the hiring managers status. I was advised through peers later that they hired internally. This is understandable but not communication with strong potential candidates is unprofessional and shortsighted.

Interview Questions
  • Initial stage interview - focus on experience, level of leadership, team size and responsibilities, etc...

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Digital Realty

Interview

Multiple phone interviews. Failed to meet any commitment on the next steps they provided without being asked about the next steps. No communication or follow up of any kind from recruter or hiring manager after they communicating a date they would follow up. Even with the ghosting it still seems like a good company to work for.

Interview Questions
  • What would be your strategy to ensure you were working with the team across the whole customer versus vendor relations?

Applied through indeed. Within couple days was called by recruiting company to phone interview.

Focused on ability to perform job and previous experience. No amazon type questions. Why I wanted to work there, why I was leaving current position. A few questions on troubleshooting physical and logical server connections. Questions on fiber. At end of interview was told would schedule interview with another manager. No other interview. Recruiter called to inform me they made a soft offer. Discussed offer. Informed recruiter of decision. Background was started and initial hiring docs. Background complete hard offer made

Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Digital Realty (Woking, England) in May 2021

Interview

Good initial outlook meet with couple of Supervisors and felt the guys really understood their trade and looked for like minded people that would have a passion for this industry. Following second stage interview it sort of went down hill as the business was let down by their HR. No understanding of employee engagement. Informed to communicate outcome withing a week. Then ghosting emails and phone calls. It seems that there is a whiff of juniority in the team and lack of understanding processes what does not bode well for the future of the business. It is equally employers and employee market and unfortunately having employer that does not have an ability to say either Yes or No is not something one would like to entertain.

Interview Questions
  • How would you feel managed by team that might be younger than yourself. (As cliche as this sounds apparently every candidate is asked the same question)

The interview was super easy. You usually go through 2 short interviews. They asked about very basic questions, like where you live, how you commute, and what your availability is. One question they asked was what you think good hospitality is. You know right after if you are hired or not.

Interview Questions
