Product Culture

#PM roles are fascinating no doubt, hiring PMs is also becoming fascinating, everyone is #hiring PMs when they don't even fit into their #organization and # #businesses.

Companies want to map their old #BA, Ops, and #projectmanager roles onto #Productmanagers, and they think Product Managers will solve everything.

You will hardly find the right #productculture in 1% Orgs. The presence of a true product culture is indeed rare.

A product culture is more than just having a PM on the team; it's about the entire organization being aligned around #productthinking, #customerempathy, and iterative development.

In companies with a strong product culture, everyone—from engineering to sales—is focused on understanding and solving customer problems, with the PM playing a key role in driving this vision. However, in many organizations, the PM role can be more of a project management position, where the focus is on execution rather than innovation or customer-centricity

This disconnect can be frustrating for PMs who are passionate about building great products. Finding a company with a genuine product culture often means looking for organizations where leadership values product-led growth, there's a strong alignment between cross-functional teams, and where there's room for experimentation and learning from failure.?

PS: When you're interviewing, asking about the company's approach to product development, how decisions are made, and how the team interacts can give you insights into their actual product culture.
