I feel like this is the experience for most of the people in PM out there. Some companies are going to have better practices than others, and for many of us landing that job in a company that has something closer to ideal product management might never happen. Nowadays I feel like having been at it for about 15 years, I've seen quite many behaviors and they tend to repeat from company to company and I feel more equipped to deal with them since I've solved them before. And this is something that companies tend to appreciate. So, as tough as it is, being in the trenches, has its own value :)
I'd love to hear more on what you've observed in the trenches when you've seen dev teams not working in the 'right' way. I'm sure you've written or talked about it? Any specific references I can access to learn more?
