For professionals interested in digital product development, this is not the best environment. The organization still operates much more with a project management mindset rather than a product management culture. As a result, APMs tend to act mainly as backlog managers and PMs as project managers rather than true product leaders.
There is little discussion around product ROI, product performance metrics, or modern product discovery practices.
Cloud tools are largely blocked across the company, which limits experimentation and modern ways of working. Internal communication is still done through Skype, which feels outdated in 2026.
A large portion of employees have been with the company for 10, 15, or even 20+ years and appear demotivated, often waiting for dismissal to access severance compensation and unemployment benefits. This creates teams that are often less efficient and highly resistant to change.
Leadership development and formal management training seem limited, which contributes to a work environment that may feel less dynamic and less attractive for professionals seeking to build modern skills and face new challenges.
