I have worked at Google and Amazon. I never required PMs to be in the loop for a feature launch at either of the two.

Having said that, both Google and Amazon has excellent PMs and there are teams that require PMs to be in the loop for a feature launch but it is not universal.



Really? Did you require any non-engineers to be in the loop before launching the features? Were these public facing changes?


Netflix barely had any PMs. Almost all Netflix features are pushed without a PM being involved in any way.


Depends on which part of the company you're talking about. The studio engineering side has many PMs.


My google team didn't even _have_ a PM for most of my tenure there.
