How is management structured? How are product decisions made?

  Ah! Josh, your name was familiar to some of my coworkers! A couple of points to answer your questions: - We do centralize our product strategy and portfolio planning, but we decentralize our release and iteration planning. - We focus on building strong teams of diverse talent sets that are becoming more self managing. Teamwork is big for us, flying solo on any task is rare-r than in other places I've worked. - Our management (and everyone else) are really accessible for a medium sized company. I have faith that if I sent a calendar invite to our C*O for a 15 min chat on a free timeslot, they'd show up. Of course, respect goes both ways and I wouldn't book their time unless I really needed them specifically and it couldn't be handled asynchronously. Thanks for the questions!

    Well, the point is some companies don't have management. Sounds like yours does ;)
