Is my skip insensitive?
What are some companies that are product led. By product led, i mean 1. PMs drive new products and features. New products could be completely 0-1 business opportunities that PMs have discovered. 2.PMs have influence over how strictly they can follow their roadmaps and not be swayed by other functions 3. Culture that promotes product led thinking. Some examples I can think of. Please add or classify these so that it helps product folks here. Walmart - A pathetic company which is completely business led. Amazon - Not sure but there are pockets of product led as I hear from people. Msft, Oracle, Salesforce, Uber, Lyft, Apple- Better than amazon maybe? Google, Meta , Atlassian, Twitter, Airbnb, coinbase - Allegedly product led but would like to understand how much. Does business not sway roadmap. Big products are not built without Pm org on board? Company gives enough resources for PMs to experiment with ideas? #pm #product #productmanager #google #meta #amazon #salesforce #uber #apple #microsoft #lyft #engineering #software #tech #softwareengineer
YOE (and obligatory TC)? I could be reading into it, but your wording on question two seems loaded... what does it mean to say a roadmap shouldn't be swayed by other functions? PMs don't have a monopoly on knowledge or context, or discovering customer needs that have a worthwhile value prop to address. Now if you mean it in a "bring me problems, not solutions" sort of way, that's more palpable; in my experience, the best PMs stand on the shoulders of those other functions (even more so typically in B2B companies where the target persona is one of other said functions). Not on your list I've heard Etsy, Datadog, Airtable & Aha! are all product-led. I haven't personally worked for any of them but know people at each & interviewed at a couple of them, and certainly got that vibe myself.
