Narrow scope, little execution, too much time wasted
Pros: Benefits
Easy to move around to different jobs/groups
Cons: Narrow scope - very few broad product marketing roles. most are narrow in scope, so the roles can get boring after 18 months.

Little execution - spend more time socializing plans and getting buy-in than actually doing any work.

Lots of time wasted - More than half my day spent in meetings. Due to the matrixed nature of teams, it takes many more meetings and reviews for anyone with authority to make a decision.
