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?

    Company has built a strong culture around innovation and good products. Synaptics has grown significantly over the past 3-4 years and is in exciting consumer products. There is an expectation to work hard but the teamwork is very strong.

    new management bringing their buddies (in VP/SVP roles) every other week across all sites. no more stock options for regular employees. tweaked espp program to further erode employee perks. cutting costs to increase GM. layoffs every 6-9 months. unlimited PTO is a joke. cafeteria is substandard. no work life balance. you are expected to attend late night meetings and still show up at office by 9.
