Horrible for engineers
There really aren't any, unless you have a family and like being the one-eyed man in the land of the blind. Also, if you get in good with your manager, it's very easy to slip between the cracks and slack off.
Hugely political, and managers are not very aware of who the good coders in the group are. Also, it's predominantly a marketing organization, so developers get stepped on. Also, it's heavily process-oriented, but now we're trying to become more "agile". So now we have an "agile waterfall", which is just an awful, awful idea. It just means that product managers can slack off far more.
Fire all the PMs and about 80% of the developers.
Start attracting real talent.
