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?

          Pros

          Good pay for the type of work. Good benifits. Overall pros to be honest seem really good if your just starting your career. Alot of nice people and some good management.

          Cons

          Not really a whole lot of cons. The reason for a one star. Is there training and focuses on there employees. Since they were bought out by liveperson inc. There overall quality has shrunk. You have to take chats by auto dealers and every week management will send a new email with all changes to how you are to address them. Keep in mind these changes take effect immediately without training. They expect you to have a whatever quality score there team leads have had per month. For a career minded individual stay away its a sink whole for labor. Again there are alot of good things you can say for the company, but dont get comfortable. Take it for what it is a good income with no future. You can be top of the class multiple runner up for employee of the month and forget a period here and there and still be let go. This job is great for people who need a income and dont want anything else. I hope this honest review will shed lite on some of the fake reviews put on here witch are noticed by the wording the manager said to me. Good luck guys. Great concept bad judgement of standards and relationships. If a auto dealer gets mad be aware you will be blamed even if you rarely make a hiccup

            LivePerson is a great place if you want to work on vast amount of data with very smart people. Sr. management are very sensitive to the the needs of the employees. Salary and benefits are great.

            Cons

            Frequent reorganisation is frustrating. The same goes with OpEx.

              Pros

              The people that work there are absolutely great! There is great camaraderie and a lot of people willing to help however they can.

              Cons

              They hired way too many people at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022 and subsequently had a massive layoff in September 2022. Also, there is way too much red tape internally for getting things done. There are too many people concerned with whether it is their responsibility to do something rather than just serving the needs of the customer. Worrying about these sorts of immaterial matters makes it really difficult to please the customer and get them what they need in a timely fashion. Also, there is just way too much movement in upper management and a general lack of direction within the company.

                Pros

                - Plenty of fun (and very intelligent) people at the company - Great industry to be in - Great pitstop for your career - lots of people come here and leave for great companies - Regular updates from leadership are nice to hear - Office updates and activities helped me find some really good friends at the company

                Cons

                - They don't even try to hide the nepotism, which makes people feel "stuck" and contributes to low morale - Lots of bodies that don't contribute to much from the nepotism - Work-life balance is difficult to find, and much of upper management do not respect it - Many managers lead out fo fear rather than encouragement and praise - Acts like a startup claiming to "sprint" toward goals but there's enough red tape here to round the globe – very difficult to get anything off the ground

                  Comp and benefit are good. Most people are great and fun to work with Creative team is awesome

                  Cons

                  Except the CEO/Founder all the rest of the company is on the move constantly. VPs, directors, managers, employees, are all on the move. Re-organizations are frequent (remember it's the con part) HR is the worst I had ever seen Product group is always occupied with doing nothing Too many meetings in general. Growth through M&A is a disaster (look.io, amadesa, kasamba, nuconomy) - except amadesa that brought some value to the company through people.

                    Pros

                    The people are all great and really encouraging. The work from home policy is a nice to have but unless you are a work from home employee, it's not really encouraged.

                    Cons

                    1. Disorganization- It can be good and bad- it allows you to take the initiative for changes you want to see, but as is true with most big companies, everybody is always waiting for the approval from upper management which can stagnate things before any changes are ever actually made. 2. Turnover- There is A LOT of turnover because the job description is constantly changing. I don't know about sales but it seems they are consistent. One day you have one boss, the next day that person leaves and somebody else wants to change the department and it becomes a domino effect. Change is good but too much change will stop you from ever mastering anything. 3. Compensation - The pay for some of the employees is decent but for others, it's really at the lower market value at best. Especially for all the work that needs to be put in, at least the bonuses should be higher. Unless you are coming in with a higher salary requirement, if you move up in the company, they aren't going to increase your salary significantly, even if you're moving into a Project Manager role.

                      Pros

                      Awesome coworkers, positive energy, good work/life balance, management were good people. The company makes a really strong effort to take care of its people and they have a great vision of what they want to achieve.

                      Cons

                      Lots of confusion about the product's capabilities and what we can actually offer as a basic package without massive custom engineering. Everyone was new at the same time, which meant everyone wasn't sure what they were doing and it was hard to learn quickly/ move efficiently. Tried to grow a bit faster than they could keep up with, and training wasn't strong enough. As nice as it is to think the managers are nice people, it hasn't been quite enough to create the structure and foundation needed to build/grow at the rate they want and everyone really learn how to succeed.

                      Case Manager

                      I applied to 4 jobs last week. Two companies replied that thy are reviewing my application and I have an interview tomorrow with a third. The company I'm interviewing with is the one I'm least interested in of the four, though it is better than my current job. What is the etiquette if I'm offered a job with this company but I want to wait and see what response I get from the other 3? Should I tell the company I need a couple weeks to decide, or be up front that I'm waiting for other offers? Or?

                      Underwriter

                      During my interview with a Vice President, he mentioned that the "background check" had been reviewed. He brought up cities I had lived in at one point, even though I hadn't included that information on my resume or LinkedIn profile, though it is accurate. Additionally, he was aware of my entrepreneurship experience, which I had not disclosed anywhere. I'm curious about the source of this information. I'm currently progressing through the interview rounds without any offer or signed documents.

                      Underwriter

                      I’m moving on to round 3 of the interview process after speaking with the VP and it’ll be with peers. My position would be Insurance Product Manager so the peers would be internal stakeholders (Sales, Engineering, Underwriting, Actuary, etc.) What kind of questions typically do peer interviews ask?
