Politics and organizational inertia get in the way of practicing product management

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Nice coworkers - Interesting product - Passionate user base - Inspiring founder - Company is socially conscious and truly aims to make the world a better place

Cons

- Deep product management expertise is missing at the leadership level. - There has been very little strategy or vision for years. - Despite desire to work in an outcome-focused way, roadmaps are driven by feature ideas from leaders, rather than empowering teams to solve and iterate. - Painful, waterfall-like quarterly planning. - Over-indexation on document writing and product specs. - Tenure is rewarded over performance.
