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?

    Many Team members working permanently from Home so don't get F2F interactions..

    Great people, less than greay pay

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    My career with Rackspace Technology has been a great one! Positive energy, great managers, great benefits & 401k matching. Great opportunities to learn with their learning platforms & LinkedIn Learning/ACloudGuru memberships. Opportunities for advancement are there and encouraged.

    Cons

    The current state of the company is not so great. Managers in teams that need more people are finding it difficult to get job requisition approvals to get more people to handle huge workloads. On top of that, the pay is below current market average & the culture is not what it once was, so it's difficult to keep the top talent.

    Complete Dumpster Fire

    May 23, 2023 - Senior Software Engineer in San Antonio, TX
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Four weeks of PTO was nice.

    Cons

    I don't even think I can really explain how inept the executive leadership is. Direction and planning from the top felt like watching a fish that had been thrown out on the asphalt on a hot summer day, flipping and flopping in madness from one place to the other, hoping in vain to find water. Their failed plans and leadership always results in "difficult choices" (layoffs and or outsourcing) for the rest of us, while they suck their millions out of the company.

    Pros

    It was solid until reorg.

    Cons

    Most of the leadership of the department I was in left within a week. Things went downhill rapidly after that, a ton of attrition just made it tough.
