Pros

Technically very inspiring.

Great focus on individual contributors.

Great professionalism in keeping solutions simple.

Great principle of ship it fast, improve it fast.

Disrespectful treatment of employees as an expense.

Massive dishonesty and hypocrisy in the review process.

Advice to Management

Use the review solely as a base for bonuses, but do not block people from switching positions when their manager takes a dislike to them.
