How does cross platform collaboration work in FAANG? I work in a startup and some of my ideas are shot down for various reasons - even when I am able to demonstrate solid value proposition. How do you engage with PMs and EMs to push designs to sprints?

For example, folks at Amazon - do you think some LPs are used to just commit and not be persistent? Feel some LPs contradict. Are you sticking the customer obsession lp to PMs who de-scope the product to bare minimum?

    Make sure you know when roadmapping is taking place and start proposing stuff. Write up a rough requirements doc and or design something rough and pitch it.

    It depends on everything else going on in the org really. Good support and good PMs can allow design to be pretty influential. It just takes one of those things to be a bit off and the design can struggle.

      My question was to understand if Amazonians actually stick to LPs after being hired.
