How's the recognition culture and mentoring culture in your firm ?


Do you demonstrate constantly what you've done to gain recognition? Sometimes it feels like too much self promotion.

Do you have a mentor assigned ? Do you reach out to a mentor on your own?

How much do you drive vs firm facilitates??

As a Manager, I would not expect to be assigned a mentor, besides my counselor. And we all know that counselors are hit or miss. At Accenture, I was able to find a number of informal mentors and had 1 formal mentor (but I was an Analyst, so that makes sense).

I personally have never (and will never) self-promote. I don’t feel comfortable doing that and honestly, it hasn’t impacted my career thus far. Maybe it will later

I’ve gotten constant recognition at my firm in the form of positive feedback and quarterly bonuses based on performance. It’s my first year here so still waiting to see how that pans out in the form of salary adjustment and will find out in July.

Recognition culture is decent. Between accolades and shoutouts if you are doing good work you will usually get recognized in the form of accolades or a “nice job”.

Mentoring culture is subjective but my experience with my assigned mentor was terrible. Depends on who you get.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
