Pros: As a Product Manager, I got to work on some cool cross-border payment projects. There's a good drive to innovate in the fintech space, which is exciting. The teams below executive level are generally supportive.
Cons: Leadership communication often feels disjointed; different messages come from different VPs. It's tough when strategic decisions for global payments shift too often, making it hard for teams to focus. Sometimes you feel like a cog, without much input reaching the very top leaders.
Advice to Management: Try to align on a clear vision and communicate it consistently across all levels. Empower middle management more to execute without constant strategic shifts. This would help a lot with retention for roles like Product Manager in the competitive fintech market.
