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 3 weeks. I interviewed at Synaptics (Cambridge, England) in Aug 2022

Interview

CV screening, virtual interview, coding test then assessment centre. The company was very accommodating throughout the process. The first interview was not too long, just a few simple questions about my CV. The coding test was short and has a good balance of easy and more complex questions. The assessment centre was really well thought out, and a fun day overall. We had a group technical task, a group non-technical task and an individual interview at the end. Everyone was quite friendly and put me at ease.

I applied online. I interviewed at Synaptics (Erie, PA) in May 2021

Interview

Seemed formal, but they definitely didn't tell me all the information I would like to have. I'm a couple days in and it feels like pyramid scheme. If your a recent college graduate I don't recommend this job if you actually got formal education.

The interview was brief and more over resume. I had a previous interview with the company which was more technical. I did not get that position thought. After a month I was contacted for another position.
