Bloated management, no diversity, egos-a-plenty - Product Management Harvard Business Publishing Employee Review

Pros

- Good work life balance - Decent pay - Brand recognition - Free parking

Cons

There is almost no racial diversity at HBP and there also seems to be a lack of diversity in worldview and upbringing. This is something they really need to work on to be competitive and to innovate outside the "ivory tower." Managers talk-the-talk but do not walk-the-walk--relying instead on their teams to do everything and then taking credit for the work. Pretty ironic considering the mission is "to improve the practice of management." Could take some tips from their own content. Management is completely in love with themselves and hold themselves in high regard--need to work on humility in a big way. Purport to be a technology company but the investments don't support that vision.
