It's a good place to work, but the employee performance and reviews system is still maddening

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. Flexible work arrangements are very common. The actual work can be very interesting and rewarding once you get past all the management/corporate crap.

Cons

No job security. Always just waiting on the axe to fall and get shoved out. Rewards are all about how well you can market yourself to management, not about the work you do.

Advice to Management

Stop calibration, stack ranking, or whatever we are calling it this FY. Enough with all the impact jargon and 4-5 forced "connects" each year.
