I am an engineer, I occasionally publish technical articles in engineering magazines.
At the end of these articles they always put the employer's name and my company email address on display.
Previously I asked the director or CEO directly, as I worked at very small companies.
Now I am working at a bigger company, and I don't know whether I have to ask for permission for this, and from which department?
You may find the door closed quickly, unless your articles are a benefit to the company (recruitment) and don't go near anything that might be proprietary info.
Let them know about and see copies of your past articles so they know the kind of thing you'd be putting their name on. Could be a feather in your cap, especially if it's positive for them and as previous poster wrote, doesn't give away their hard earned, private knowledge. A larger company may take a while to return a decision to you. If they prefer not to be mentioned, just make your employment blurb anonymous regarding them, ex. "John Smith works at a software company in California." Or you could just decide to do that now. No reason you have to mention where you work.
