Great people, benefits, offices, and pay.

Too many young people who live to work, without families or kids.

It's hard to compete with smart and hardworking people who live and breathe their work 10-12 hours per day. They are still young enough to not understand that it will break them, so they haven’t experienced burnout yet.

The company has a policy that 10-15% of people have to be below bar, and that leads to people being protective of their work, a lot of elbowing others around to get some impact, and overall creates stress.

It feels like a social experiment in many ways.

Get rid of hard requirements for “below bar” performance. If someone doesn’t perform, their managers know that. But forcing them to identify 15% as low performers when in reality 98% of people do a great job is simply brutal.
