Pros

- Nice office environment - People are generally nice and friendly - Salary for product marketing seems competitive - Flexibility to work from home (occasionally) when needed - Generous PTO in first year and building the longer you stay - For some teams, getting money to run programs is easy

Cons

- Upper level leadership gets side-tracked easily - Management is always looking for the "silver bullet" and is uninterested in anything else - in 2014, there's a complete lack of focus and total chaos in product development

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
