* Management seems confused about what matters in role -new direction every week * Out-of-model role - not product marketing like in other companies * Supposed to do product management which is co-owned by development, which doesn’t really know how to do product management either. * Development-led company, where development is rewarded for new features and products regardless of whether customers adopt them
