Pros

Senior and Director-level product managers are highly engaged and supportive, serving as excellent role models and mentors. They foster a positive team environment and demonstrate strong leadership behaviors that benefit staff development.

Cons

The organization prioritizes operational efficiency over technological innovation, limiting true product-led growth. There’s a noticeable bias in hiring and promotions—favoring former Hilton employees—which creates a glass ceiling and stifles career advancement in product. Product management is often reduced to executing stakeholder directives aimed at short-term metric gains, rather than driving meaningful digital improvements for employees and customers.

Pros

Compensation. Bonuses. Holiday pay. Benefits. Team building days. office parties.

Cons

If you are unbothered and don't get stressed out easily - go for it. I could not. little training. quantity over quality. constant sense of urgency. never feeling accomplished or that tasks were completed. mostly dealing with angry residents. responsibilities plus the phone queue was unmanageable. one or the other please. constant policy changes and having to explain that to residents.
