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?

    Definitely the worst job experience ever

    Sep 20, 2013 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Very imaginative, hard working staff. Occasionally a brilliant mind or two within the product development teams. Very good facilities in Lisbon.

    Cons

    Awful facilities at the headquarters. No sense of professional management whatsoever. Completely egocentric management to cover own flaws and overall inferiority complex. Total lack of respect for the Human Resources.

    NOT remote work

    Feb 9, 2023 - Software Developer 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Some benefits are good (i.e. health/education tickets, laptops) Some teams have good devs that are fun to work with and learn from.

    Cons

    Average salary. Remote work ended - company is enforcing hybrid model (at minimum 2x month) Company's culture is lacking - no diversity and absolutely no respect or concern for employees well-being. They say they have benefits to Management mentality is mostly controlling and with lots of pressure - most of the times stores are planned with insanely low SP's and devs are pressured to accept them even if they know it's not possible to deliver on-time. Everyone is expected to deliver the same amount and quality of work, no matter their seniority and context or lack of context in the project - SP's are directly correlated with hours of work and everyone is expected to deliver the same amount of SP's in a sprint No systems are in place to help people develop, learn and grow. You are treated as a number only there to deliver work and if you want to learn something you use your free time since there's no room for that in the projects.

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    If you just want to work your hours without much pressure this is the company for you.

    Cons

    Uncompetitive salary. Pervasive lack of interest for our own products. Pervasive not my problem attitude. Old technologies in use and no perspective of changing it, eg. lack of virtualization on build environments. Legacy products (10+ years) with very little docs and no one with full context, company lost many key people on pandemic. Non agile methods.

    Good company overall

    Feb 15, 2023 - Operations Associate in Coimbra, Coimbra
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    A lot of good and honest people, you can easily become a part of WIT, almost everyone makes you feel welcome. Board elements are nice as well. WIT provides all the necessary equipment to work. Good benefits (health insurance, tickets...).

    Cons

    Some managers have to much power. As they are the final arbiters, no one else check their opinion veracity. They are barely present when you need them and never give positive feedback. Opinions and ideas aren't welcome. You must do everything exactly as they would, otherwise, it isn't valid.

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Salaries wise are pretty average but WIT Software reedems herself with great benefits. Usually, very flexible in work hours.

    Cons

    Some projects are quite dated meaning you will feel more like you are stale on your job rather then feeling as you are improving your skills. Some project clients can be a handfull to work with.
