Going downhill to work for
Good vision, strong desire to do right by Reddit users, seemingly strong company financials.
Ads management/leadership is a mess. There's too much focus on revenue per head, losing focus on "remember the human," and ruthlessly cutting costs. One manager change is all it takes to go from good to bad.
Your metrics for "high performers" are flawed and don't take into consideration different working styles. More than 100 PRs per 180 days is a silly metric. Be sure to look into which managers "low performers" are under, and you might find that it's often the failings of managers that lead to that outcome.
