Senior leadership always 'feels' out of reach. Generally, the field only hears from and meets with with senior leadership during all-hands meetings or during annual team reviews. Interactions with them feel transactional and always business related. A lack of 'relatedness' is my impression.
Taking into account for current market/economic conditions, it's understandable how one might not receive a raise or the lack of promotions. That being said, the feedback process during the promotion process is not transparent. It requires proactivity to reach out to upper levels of management to understand why someone may not have been promoted.
It seems every 1-2 years there is a reorganization/shuffle of teams and management. Sometimes this make it so all your previous year's effort/work is null. That makes it hard to want to continue putting in consistent effort to drive sales, opportunities, etc. When you don't know if you will get the 'credit' for the work you put in.
All that being said, the career progressions for SAs is fairly straight forward. I can't say that I feel like I am being advocated for or provided with the tools to advance my career here. I can say that at least on paper the requirements to get to the next level are clear and concise. How it's decided if you meet those requirements are unclear. Therefore, it's unknown to me if sr. leadership acknowledges my growth/progress.
