Pros

The work was interesting. A lot of the best tools are used. The colleagues were great.

Cons

Too much driven by middle management. Lots of politics. Hyperfocus on reviews and self-reviews, and they happened too often.

Advice to Management

Self-reviews are essentially worthless. Reviews and metrics can only show certain performance details but don't get the full picture of an employee. Even a high performer can fall short on the metrics you are collecting.
