Where I work it seems product managers have the most sway. But I just read a GlassDoor post by a PM who said the engineers had more. Depends on where you stand I guess.
I've always had trouble working with PMs. Whenever a new one comes along they make sure to mention that they've worked as programmers before. When I ask them how long, it's usually 2 years.
I think I don't like working for PMs because they are the client (at my company at least). And I always forget this. I always think "we are a team" and that the product is the main focus. But I always forget that isn't reality.
