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?

    Old style company, abusive culture, no respect for employees

    CEO Approval

    Pros

    Lots of documentation, good teleconference tools around the world. Nice people at working levels.

    Cons

    No employee and customer focus. Company operating around CEO. Abusive management and bad languages used frequently. 8am policy is hard for working families with young kids. Processes, memos and specs are overkilling. Groups compete against each other instead of doing right things for the company. Little collaboration between groups. No work and life balance.

    Toxic work environment with ineffective management

    Pros

    There is very little to be discussed here. Cypress Semiconductor provides a chaotic work environment that can for some prove to be a challenge. The reality of the situation at Cypress Semiconductor is employees subjecting themselves to unnecessary stress and toxic culture.

    Cons

    1) No work life balance 2) Abusive Management (TJR) 3) Systems are broken 4) Lack of innovation 5) Atrocious Employee Morale
