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 environment and experience

    Jun 7, 2022 - Machine Learning Engineer 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The working environment is so positive that I really doubt that I will have it somewhere else. The management is relaxed and gives time to research and space for failures as mostly happens with research. Also I gained a lot of development experience building the ML systems and algorithms.

    Cons

    Could always allow more research :)

    Employee Empowerment and Care

    May 12, 2023 - SOS Specialist in Houston, TX
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    One of the reasons I love working at BMC is because they truly care about their employees. There are hundreds of programs to fit the needs of every individual and we are always encouraged to reach out when it's warranted. BMC has some of the best healthcare options I have experienced in my occupational career, and they are always willing to listen and determine the best course of action to make sure their employees have everything they need. There are also a ton of opportunities to move around the company if you wish and I have found my management to be incredibly supportive of growth in any form, so there is no backlash to ambition.

    Cons

    I don't have any true downsides to working with BMC, I guess I would say that the experience you have is what you make of it. The energy you put in to working at BMC is what you are going to get out of it. BMC has a net positive/neutral environment to work with, so if you give it your best to communicate and work towards your ambitions, you won't have any problems.
