Noticed this position open on the Facebook site. Thinking of applying. Any insights into team or leader?
Never join commerce platform. It’s a shit show. Bad WLB, code base is pathetic, strategy and product are all over the place. They’ve tossed the team around to be supported by different leads at least 5 times in the last 2 years. And Deb does not even lead that org, as state above. If you join, think of CP as a stepping stone, you’re definitely not working on CP more than 6-12 months from the date you start, you or the team without you will be shuffled around. That said, you’re from MSFT, so it may be a match made in heaven. A good chunk of the org is ex MSFT pals and buds, so if it helps you break the inner circle, go for it.
PMM Is a highly political organization that is famous for turning the wheels and creating random work for people across the company. Try for PM instead.
+1 could not agree with this more. PMMs might be the most useless people at entire company. They have no real mandate or deliverables so they end up running around and bothering technical people (eng, DS) to do random work for them. They love to project manage without doing any actual work. Their main priority is to get publicity and look good in front of execs without adding any real value. For your sake and other people’s sake at the company, do not become a PMM
Imho we should fire 🔥 eighty percent of them and should see almost zero adverse impact on our bottom line. We will end up increasing our operating margins as well. Where is wehner ?
Stay away
Wow. Thanks folks. Do these teams see a lot of firings or layoffs?
Float around for a couple of years as a PMM, then hop over to google or twitter as a PM - easy money.
This.
What about for a PMM without a CS degree/background looking to become a PM?
