If you’ve been in the company for 11 years and are still a senior then yes
When you do get a new job just don't be that guy/girl that constantly refers to their old job and thinks that everything the way the old job did things is the gold standard. I work with a guy who worked for the same company for 20 years, and now after 5 years at my company he is still talking about his old job.
I agree not to have that attitude, but not everyone who works so long for a company behaves like that. This depends on the individual's interest in technology and ability to accept challenges.
Generally speaking, no.
It depends on the industry and jobs you're applying for. If your 11 yrs don't include promotions or changes in positions, it could be off-putting to an industry that expects people to learn/grow/change rapidly. It's not generally a negative thing, though.
That probably depends on your record at the job. If you spent 11 productive years, I don't think your loyalty will cut against you. But if you come off as not having accomplished much you can look like a chair warmer and that can definitely be a detriment. It's good to make sure your resume indicates promotions and accomplishments during that long stretch at one company.
Yes, I was at one for 15yrs with no hope of moving up or getting cross-trained. I was in fear of firing threats as well. Now new employers look at me like are you going to do this to me?
If you worked 11 years with insignificant advancement in roles and job responsibilities within same company, it will be very hard for you to justify what made you stay to that role for too Long. You would need to devote yourself learning new skills that aligns with your future role and than you have story and valid point to make that because now you have more skills and qualifications along with 11 years of experience you believe you are ready to take a better and challenging role.
I have seen people giving excuses like because of financial instability or family responsibilities they decided to stay in the same role for long and now circumstances has changed and they are willing to accept or face risk for better opportunities. Well in opinion that is NOT an appropriate or acceptable reason but an excuse.
If staying that long as a manager - yes
