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?

Interview

The interview process was great. Scott did an excellent job keeping me in "the loop" in terms of the overall schedule and setting expectations around the entire process from interview to potential offer. The team asked the tough questions but also painted a clear picture of the role, what they were looking for and what it can be like working for a global company like Parallels.

Interview Questions
  • The questions were very targeted around HR Programs and Processes. However, it was also clearly an interview to ensure I was a good fit for the team dynamic.

Easy Interview
Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Parallels (Nizhniy Novgorod) in Jan 2015

Interview

Got a call from a recruiting agency. In my case there were 2 steps (both Skype interviews ~1 hour each): 1) Technical specialist, CV review - asked questions regarding my background, basing on CV and field of work 2) Technical interview - some tasks without writing any code: "how would you solve this task", "describe design of the system basing on the following requirements", etc. After 2nd interview they finally realized that they need a specialist with other programming language experience.

Interview Questions
  • You have a text, print all words in acsending order basing on their frequencies
  • Design a system, which reads filesystem for incoming tasks and then processes them. How would you ensure optimal performance?
