Help! I finally landed a job in Product, after years of working towards this. But this company is a disaster!! I’ve seen some seriously garbage fires, but this place has me wondering what I’ve gotten myself into. They are a small company that is having a lot of growing pains. They need to scale, and are adopting to agile. They’re still in the “forming” stage, and they keep coming to me with questions. I’m a certified CSPO, and I was very honest about my level of experience, which is next to none
