      Bad Leadership

      Pros

      Close to home and availability to work remote when needed.

      Cons

      They promote based on who they like and not who has the most skills/experience. They are biased when giving raises when your team did better than another’s and they get a raise when you don’t, true bias. It’s about being a yes man and not a space to help initiate true innovations. I wouldn’t work here.

      Pros

      Principal is figuring out what product management is and how it can help move the organization forward. Different experiences and expectations depending on what department you are in across the enterprise.

      Cons

      This period of early maturation comes with opportunities and challenges.
