Pros
Great teammates, nice engaged coworkers, market-leading product, working with lots of smart people
Cons
Leadership is nonexistent. The Product Marketing team spent most of the past year wasting half our time in pointless, yet endless mandatory team meetings about things as inane as internal descriptions for PR topics, while then being grilled about why nobody was getting their work done. More recently, the team now just gets dumped on to do everything, as there’s no filter keeping other teams (and executives) from endlessly piling more work on. The exec team is fully aware that there’s nobody running the PMM team, but they pretend they don’t see that - instead demanding to know why projects haven’t been completed while making no effort to relieve the workload that’s been placed on the team. In short, it’s evolved from a culture of bullying, delusion, and micromanagement to having no management or direction at all.
