Top-level managers do not want to have an honest conversation with an employee, because they fear what they might hear and have to respond to. They prefer to do Q&A - speak out prepared answers to pre-reviewed questions. On the other hand, the fact the upper management does not talk to most employees probably helps the product department people enjoy lots of freedom and have a sense of a flat, class-less workplace.
