Career progression has many forms and is a unique journey for everyone. However there are some common patterns in the career paths that help us define a career progression framework.
In the RnD department we have 3 career paths in Engineering and 2 career paths in Product Management and Product Design allowing you to focus on your strengths and growing in the direction that fits you.
There are 7 Seniority Levels in total across the different Career Paths ranging from from Junior to C-Level. Clearly defined expectations for each level and a Skills & Competency Matrix for each ensures you always know what is expected of you and what you can expect of others.
Compensation and Titles are tied to each level, meaning equal pay within one level no matter which carreer path you choose.
At Ultimate we follow the principle of continuous feedback to ensure a high level of transparency. Next to that there is a more formal personal growth conversation with your manager every quarter. In those conversations you will talk about your feedback you have gotten, goals you want to achieve and create a personal development plan to help you achieve them. Your manager will support and coach you where necessary to help you on your career path.
Feedback from your peers plays an important role in your growth at Ultimate. It helps you to understand how your work and behaviour is perceived by your colleagues, lets you detect areas for development and can uncover skill areas that you haven’t been aware of yet.
