Approves of CEO
Pros

Strong technical leadership from the technical folks prompts innovations. A lot of technical folks understand what they are doing and are serious about software quality.

Cons

People management lacks understanding of the technical projects and does not manage resources well.

Salaries and benefits are lower compared to other neighboring companies.

Management tends to sugarcoat and give BS reasons when turning down requests that they cannot meet.

Advice to Management

Rework the PBC rating system. 80% of 2's doesn't mean that all 2's are performing at the same level.

Bring back peer evaluations.
