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?

  1. HR Business Partner Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Tampa, FL
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (Tampa, FL)

    Interview

    This was a complex time consuming waste of my time. Several interviews then silence. After taking someone’s valuable time you should at least, as a courtesy, tell them you are no longer interested in them instead of not responding to their phone calls and emails.
    Interview

    They asked about job history and skills, but also asked by hypothetical situation based questions.
