I'd sort of split this up a bit. The engineers seem to know that the promises from sales are lie. The managers and executives sort of claim to know that salesmen exaggerate claims, but the reality of it never really seems to land. Time and time again I'm working for a company who has purchased a product which they're barely making use or, or are flat out using incorrectly because they were charmed by the promises from sales, but not so charmed as to actually staff the software properly to ensure it is well configured, and maintained correctly.
