I'd say so, Marissa Mayer was an engineer before becoming an executive.

Marissa Mayer was an engineer before becoming an executive.

Was she? Her career essentially started at Google, her rise arguably being one of right place/right time.

For all of the talk about Mayer, I have literally never heard about anything actually interesting that she has done. Instead it's her 90 hour work weeks, n-shades of blue, and abrasive attitudes with others. She sounds like management through and through.
