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?

    What's Not to LOVE about Five9?

    Mar 10, 2023 - Executive Assistant in San Ramon, CA

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Definitely the Culture! Brand new Beautiful offices in San Ramon - you can walk to City Center. I have been at Five9 7+ years and I have no desire to look for a job anywhere else. The salary is right there with other Silicon Valley High Tech companies. Solid Financials and a Stock that is on the rise. EStaff that is friendly, engaged, and listens to the Employees. A+

    Cons

    I can't think of any downsides.

    Good, not Great for a Tech Company

    Apr 12, 2023 - Account Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Everyone seems genuinely wonderful especially since there was a good emphasis on a culture fit in the interview. Sales onboarding was helpful and informative on the product. Not a true leader in the CCaaS space, but the product does seem pretty solid and is definitely moving towards that direction.

    Cons

    The benefits are terribly lacking and very behind the industry within the tech space. 401k match is laughable ($500 per quarter) Starting PTO days are lackluster (you start with 15 days, but they force you to take 3 days between Christmas and New Years.... so you basically start with 12 days of PTO). While they pay for your healthcare insurance premiums, it is very high for any dependents and the healthcare choices aren't amazing coverages.

    Mostly OK

    Pros

    Five9 is a people-first company. From an HR perspective, it's great. The work is challenging and rewarding. The business has good hours, good benefits, and accessible managers.

    Cons

    A thin veneer of order masks disarray below. Narrow-minded lifers. Serial operational procrastination. Poor to non-existent communication between teams. Authoritarians run the new operating environment with a heavy-handedness worthy of DPRK membership.

    Pros

    Employee culture is at the top of the list. After working nearly 3 decades in a toxic company I finally took a chance and moved on, and how lucky I am to have found this company. Great management qualities that start at the C level and work down through the organizations; instills confidence in the direction of the company. Fast paced environment that is challenging and rewarding. Good compensation and benefits, great work-life balance.

    Cons

    Growth is straining some groups that are low on resources, would be nice to see a concerted effort in ramping up additional resources. PTO could be a little higher considering the fast paced environment, time off is essential to recharge.
