Pros
  • Strong push for cultural change.
  • Successful business model transition.
  • Management changes in my division are for the better.
  • I am still learning.
Cons
  • Product managers are not technical enough, often have pie-in-the-sky requirements, and no vision.
  • No complete product ownership outside of the US.
  • Some departments are super inefficient and political; promotions are based on who you know, rather than on merit.
  • No data strategy.
  • The salary of existing employees is on the lower end of the market range.
Advice to Management
  • Delegate full product ownership to other regions so the company can move faster.
  • Consider salary adjustments and increments for your existing employees, not just new hires.
  • Solidify your data strategy instead of leaving it to sub-departments.
