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?

    Awesome Company, Awesome People!

    Pros

    Having an opportunity to attend our 2023 Global Kickoff in Portugal my second week was a fantastic chance to meet everyone company wide, while confirming first hand that they really do live the Starmind Values from the top down. Nothing is perfect, but knowing that each person, regardless of department, is committed to everyone else's success is a pretty awesome foundation to grow within, and ultimately be a part of.

    Cons

    None to speak of that aren’t actively being addressed.

    Toxic Work Environment

    Pros

    - Ability to work remote - Beautiful Zürich office

    Cons

    Based on my personal experience: - Rigid hierarchy, and leadership is not receptive to employee experiences, ideas and feedback unless it comes from management or higher. - Management and leadership's actions do no align with what they communicate to employees or the team - Employees are expected to be the long-term solution for the company's lack of appropriate resource planning and staffing, ei. employees are expected to do the work of 3 people in the same amount of time. - They do not compensate (pay) their employees correctly or on time - HR lacks empathy and competence to create a safe working environment for employees. Plus HR employee turnover is high, meanwhile the management stays

    Pros

    I had the opportunity to meet a number of different Starmind employees in various roles. Each of my interviews offered a little more insight into Starmind and what it is like to work for them. The interview process was very transparent. Another great aspect of the interview process was getting to learn a lot about what the company does, how the culture is, and what Starmind’s goals are.

    Cons

    There are no cons to report.

    Pros

    The product is wonderful, the company has great vision from the founder

    Cons

    I don't think the sales leadership has idea what they are doing, completely ineffectual. New growth outside of the Europe is being set up to fail from the start.

    In an important transition

    Feb 27, 2023 - Account Manager in Barcelona
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Management has initiated a course change ahead of the curve last year and I personally like that we now work on a profitable course and don't have to grow unnaturally fast. As someone who has just recently joined in, I can only guess that it must have been quite hard to get to this new journey that quickly... Therefore I can understand that some colleagues left - but I think they made a mistake now that we see that happening throughout most tech companies. I feel great here and the team is amazing.

    Cons

    I feel that some colleagues are still "blocked" by the transition we went through... They are quite passive and wait what will happen... I can see a big difference between the new people and those that have gone through the change.

    Pros

    - great team with very talented people - great product which is a must have for companies with 1k+ employees - very dedicated senior leadership team leading Starmind to a successful future

    Cons

    - accountability of some employees (my advice to them: don't make excuses or blame others for why something didn't work.) - after Covid, it's not as lively in the office anymore
