      Cons

      Boss micro managed all of us Upper management is useless - used the I yell at you because my boss yelled at me and his boss yelled at him Wanted you to succeed until they were afraid you would do better than them No one wanted to give you any information and would actually heave a sigh when you asked Tell you that you will travel no more than 3 days a month and then make you travel two weeks per month

      Good but could be much better

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hands on, operating big equipment. Product is good. Opportunity to go to Japan. Job security. Marketing Events

      Cons

      Department runs extremely lean. Heavy workload without enough bandwidth to complete the expected tasks. Travel is excessive. A lot of knowledge is gathered by going to the field and getting it yourself. Management doesn’t assist in training you to be successful in your job. You figure that out yourself. Limited opportunity for advancement. Limited influence on Japan with product design. Company is not agile and changes happen very slow.
