Would appreciate advice on companies with good training for foundational PM skills! Google? FB? LinkedIn? #product #productmanager #pm
Amazon (esp AWS). Amazon has great PM processes and strong business sense. The doc culture results in very structured thinking and you’ll get candid, constructive feedback from peers that refines your proposals. You’ll also have the opportunity to think about or take ownership of a P&L which is extremely valuable.
Amazon has a very bad PM culture in general, unless you are in AWS or work on a major external customer facing product. This is the minority of the cases. The rest of the PMs including me are glorified note takers and project managers.
Sorry to hear that @P-M-T, I do work on the AWS side

Musings (rant?) of an old timer
It depends on what type of PM training you are looking for. All 3 I have been part of and I think they all have pros and cons. For the most part they are all decent though.
Would you mind sharing? More want to learn best practices for building vision and long term product strategy
If that’s the case then definitely Facebook as that’s where you get the toughest product, not technical or scientific, problems to crack and there’s the most pressure to do so. LinkedIn is all about business metrics and incremental changes, Google is highly varied based on product area but for the most part it’s also quite incremental these days. FB has the most room for true product vision work.
