Sr. Product Manager
Pros: Smart people. Great technology. Great Customers.
Great if you are a Millennial now as they are purging Baby Boomers.
Cons: With a broad portfolio, Executive Management and Marketing misses the connection between the high-level message and execution at the field level. This and the resultant org & comp structure creates silos that impact product & sales.  They do not see this as they continuously present big deals that cross all of it while pushing for more small deals, yet burdening sales management with administrative overhead and without providing real sales training.
