Why not? We saw from internal Google emails that sales had the ability to stop engineering in order to push more ad sales at the detriment of the product.
Why would Boeing, or anyone else, be different?
- kenjackson 3y agoSales can’t do that. The leadership where sales and engineering meet has to make that call. Sales may ask for it, but typically sales doesn’t drive engineering, although they usually have a lot of influence. But engineering needs to be able to explain the risk.
- montjoy 3y agoOf course it’s leadership that makes the call. At any large company sales and marketing have a huge influence on the leadership and therefore the product. The engineering teams that align with those goals will get the best funding and will be listened to the most.
