Best Buy reviews

Command and control hierarchy. Work is dictated to you from upstream and you dare not question the purpose or press a different perspective. Leaders with little to no experience in or awareness of contemporary product management practices. The three Ps at Best Buy are (superficial) Purpose, (inexperienced) People, and (immature or nonexistent) Processes. Lots and lots of platitudes, all talk and no action. Aspirational culture and values but completely non-existent and unachievable. People are more interested in selling ideas through manipulation or shutting others down rather than being curious, researching, understanding. People are promoted or put on committees (making them "experts") with little to no experience with the subject or industry in question. Look up the concept of "UX Theatre." That's what it's like working at Best Buy. Look up "signs you're not doing product management." That's what it's like working at Best Buy.

Favoritism. Management does nothing to help you move forward. They claim to be customer focused, when all the higher ups want is for you to LIE to get credit or TTS. No help for mental support, except a number. If you want a good work life balance, forget about it.
