Pros

Cons
The "TEAM" Paradox: Despite great colleagues, the performance system actively punishes collaboration. Flawed Metrics: Semi-annual PIs are misleading and don't capture overall contribution or value. Punishing Time Off: Work queues and SLAs keep running when you're on holiday or sick leave. No Grace Period: Missing an SLA while on approved sick leave often counts against your review. Forced Competition: Engineers are incentivized to compete against teammates for better individual scores. Stifles Help: This competition actively undermines the genuinely helpful and kind culture. Management Advice: Shift evaluation focus from individualistic metrics to team-based success and shared goals.
