Managers have interest in developing my technical and general competencies.
Managers are quite accessible and provide good mentorship. Very open with praise, recognition and constructive feedback.
Management is relatively well available and are happy to have conversations as time allows. The capacity of a manager as a mentor is very dependent on the manager and mentee, some managers I would describe as wonderful mentors and others I would say are too time constrained to pursue a swathe of mentees (likely have at least some). That is to say they are good overall as mentors in this business. Communication varies, but is focused on balancing transparency and purpose. IE you wouldn't tell the workforce you are 'considering' staff cuts if it may never happen, but if it were confirmed it would be communicated. A crude example but the simplest to put to paper. Team meetings allow for recognition of individuals work well done and one-on-ones allow for direct feedback that tends to be more specific and focused. This allows praise to be shared with the team as it applies but also gives direct confirmation of work well done and improvement areas.
