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 people, relaxed yet professional working environment, well managed overall

    Dec 19, 2018 - QA Tester in Horsham, England
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great middle management, very talented and inspiring people, good compromise between hierarchy, processes & autonomy, real attention to employee well-being and evolution. High level of transparency shows real respect management has for employees.

    Cons

    Horsham is not for everyone..you won't like it if you're into the urban lifestyle, even though central London is just an hour away by train.

    Former Employee, more than 5 years

    Solid reliable studio, good place to learn, limited opportunities and development.

    Feb 12, 2018 - Developer in Horsham, England
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Great for junior developers to learn skills and tools - Great for job security and stability - Multiple projects to work on, with different styles and dynamics - Great people to work with - Genuine passion for game development - Limited or no crunch - Annual bonus - Willing to allow for some self-development - Often well represented at shows and conferences

    Cons

    - Too big to rapidly change to meet industry standards - Creatively limited due to single standout product - Can be quite clique oriented - Command structure can be ineffective at properly engaging with their teams - Too many projects often create persistently stressed development (rather than boom-bust crunch development) - Constantly shifting internal hierarchy, offering a confused progression structure - Some toxic elements in practices and attitudes - Mostly below average pay for internal promotions/rises (can be above average when hired in)

    Pros

    People you work with are very nice, work is great. Ample opportunity to grow and self improve. Great mentors that help you scale well.

    Cons

    None that I came across. Always found great support from all be it HR, Management or Development Team itself. Work can get monotonous after a few years but you get opportunities to break out of it.
