The managers within each of my rotation teams have been fantastic, no issues at all. The managers within the grad program I've found are sometimes not easily accessible or consistent with their communications. For example, I know of many grads who have had their catch-ups regularly rescheduled to the point that they don't have a 1-1 with their manager for 3-4 weeks.
Internal communications is also patchy - when announcing the end of year rotation process, we were simply given slides to read and then given a deadline to submit questions about it (for me, it was a very brief deadline and a bit of a surprise since it didn't feel like we even had a conversation about the end of year process since all we got was a slack message).
Performance feedback, praise, and recognition were all great.

I have recently got a new grad manager as my old one was being overworked (coping with the responsibilities of being a grad manager and running the program) and the grads under them and themselves were struggling to have our needs met. Thankfully this has been rectified and we all have new managers. My new manager is a great mentor, they really care about my personal development and always celebrate my little wins. The teams that I have rotated around have had good team managers/grad buddies too. I really do feel like they care about my career growth. We have feedback sessions with my grad manager to share what is working and what needs to be improved so I always have clarity on how I am doing. The area that I work also has great recognition channels so I get area wide appreciation and I can give recognition to those that help me.
