Pros
My direct manager has proven to be an incredible mentor, who makes me feel supported and who's always looking for opportunities to help me grow. I have been given the opportunity to work on projects that interest me and that also put my skills to use. At the same time, I have been given the opportunity to develop my digital skills. I have been assigned projects that my manager knows I can handle, while, at the same time, I have been able to learn new ways of doing things along the way. In these instances, my manager has not micromanaged my learning journey, and I’m very appreciative of that. As a mother, I feel that my manager supports and trusts me if I need to take time during the day to take care of my son. My requests for time off or to excuse myself from my desk during business hours have always been met with understanding and kindness.
Cons
I honestly feel that I’m working in the right company for me. However, given the nature of my role and the ways in which we communicate, I wish we would further streamline the number of meetings we have as a team. Achieving this “sweet spot” is a work in progress.
