50 VP of Product Development Reviews

"I love the fact you really can control how you get the work done to develop great projects and applications for users. To be able to interact with clients to hear the issues/problems they are trying to solve and being able to provide a service or solution to meet those needs to not only help the client grow but also the company to grow."

"I love having the ability of taking existing products we have and reshaping them, so we can go into new areas. Working with programmers, sales and customers deciding what is needed for the future and what won't last. Think all customers should feel like you are doing everything to make sure your developing for them and their daily usage."

"As a founder and primarily in charge of leading partner initiatives, customer development and product definition my work is very fulfilling. There is nothing I hate about my current position though it would be nice to have a greater number of competent business-technologically savvy business development drivers at my disposal."

"I love working with different companies internationally and domestically to get the job done. This includes distribution and Mfg reps. The downside to a start-up is irregular income and an extremely limited budget, that comprises completion dates and quality. An exciting role is to overcome those short comings by being creative and communicating effectively with consultants and management."

"Being a product manager for a software company can be very rewarding if provided with a good team and some level of latitude to be innovative."
