• The review process cannibalizes way too much.
• It's pretty pointless, as rankings are established long before the "formal review."
• It's destructive to the product groups.
• Other engineers are not afraid to throw you under the bus to get ahead; things can get very cutthroat.
• A lot of reinventing the wheel goes on.
• Teams are too afraid to look to external companies for solutions/tools.
• Health insurance is no longer the best in the world.

You need to scrap the current review process. Stack ranking also causes you to lose too many good engineers.

Don't be myopic when it comes to finding technologies to solve problems.
