I recently joined a new organization and noticed that design maturity is at its lowest, with most of the credit going to PMs, even though designers do the majority of the work on various projects (aside from engineers, of course🏆).
I'm curious to know how this typically plays out in other organizations—Is this a common scenario, or are my expectations too much due to the experience at my previous company?
I believe it really matters who is representing design at leadership level. Weather people accept it or not - design is a creative job - you cant quantify it like you do other functions. That also means other factors like perception and reputation matters more than other functions.
Majority of the companies dont do creative work, dont appreciate creativity or simply dont understand it beyond “pretty UI”.
How can they appreciate something they dont care about?
Makes sense
So here is the repo/appreciation one has.
Frontend engineers (web or app) gets most appreciation.
Then come product managers
Then backend engineers
Then designers
Then devops and security guys.
When something goes wrong
Then backend engineers
Then product managers /engineering managers
Then designers
Then frontend engineers
Damn! Couldn't be more accurate!
I just want to know how designers and pms are placed in a company?

Curious if there are any PMs who started their careers as product designers or sth similar. If yes, would love to know your story. If someone around is has a similar story, would love to hear that as well!
My company acts like developers are the sole reason the app ui exists. I’m not trying to diss them, it’s a team effort, everyone is involved.
But when features go live it feels like nobody gives a shit. If it does well, devs get commen...
