Management at Beca New Zealand

Local managers in your team are good. More senior management are unapproachable and do not understand our day to day work and struggles. They don't care to engage with staff or learn our names.

Great managers. they all come from an engineering background so have first hand experience of how the day-to-day is run. as opposed to people managers who have no experience doing the actual work that we do

Kind, good feedback, care, really good communication. Out of reach with the higher level leadership though

My manager has been very accessible during my time at Beca. They do make good mentors and seek to share knowledge from their own experiences, trying to assist with our career growth. Performance feedback is shared often and praise and recognition are given in full team meetings with people being recommended to give regular feedback on one-another.

The levels of management here work well to allow for good communication of problems or queries.

I'm highly satisfied with my accessible and mentoring managers. They ensure transparent internal communication, offer constructive feedback, and provide recognition for achievements. They are understanding and offer valuable advice, contributing to my professional growth.

Managers are around to answer queries and help with work. Career discussions are less frequent, but I feel comfortable raising queries or concerns with management if they come up.

My old manager has been extremely difficult to work with. Her mood swings make it very hard for me to approach her. It's hard to change her opinion on things.

In my experience, my current manager seeks to get me feedback from those I work with as well as pushes me to get my own feedback from those I work with along with chasing up my development.

Focusing on Section Manager relations: Section manager availability and approachability is excellent. I feel very comfortable approaching section managers with questions related both technical and non-technical content.

My team leader is very helpful and approachable, my work managers who assign me work on my project are also very good and provide me with lots of help if i ask.

Managers are legends. I have had great guidance, like I said you ask for help and you'll get the help and then some.

I do not find my TL accessible as they always seem to be juggling time and do not provide with the attention required when it is sought. It then discourages individuals to seek advice, support or help from them. I also do not find the performance feedback or 1v1 conversations overly useful as to identify whether I am on track to meet my career expectations or whether there is work that needs to be done. I find that my SM and other seniors in the team have had to step into the mentoring role.

Yes they are good

My manager is very good however there are others in the section which I am glad to not have.

Very satisfied with the managers.

In short no. I feel as though I am a burden to my TL as they have very little to do with me on a weekly basis which makes my monthly catch ups difficult. Unfortunately, this has meant my SM has had to help out in this area which is appreciated. I find that there is a lack on my performance feedback and that I have to ask for feedback and then take this back to management as they have not asked those that I work with closely how I doing. I have found good mentors outside of management as there are other people that I feel I benefit from talking to.

our SM is good but the TL is not the best

My manager is amazing. Always available and concerned. Always takes time to talk to you and make sure you are managing well. Gives feedback in performance reviews, but you only formally meet once. However, she would easily move mountains for you. She actively cares and tries to make a very good work place environment. Quite understanding and accommodating. Also firm, so she is no push over.

There is a strong culture of frequent and useful feedback at my company between colleagues at all levels. I find senior management approachable and there is a good culture of mentoring.
