Company policy allows managers and leads to publicly reprimand their reports for technical or performance reasons
Challenging work and environment; very capable coworkers.
The company encourages a culture where managers and leads publicly reprimand their reports for technical or performance reasons. Such feedback should be given in a private office or conference room setting rather than in hallways. An aggressive performance culture is great, and poor performers can be terminated, but that should be done without humiliating well-qualified engineers in front of their colleagues.
