Gartner reviews

Black box metrics that stack rank you against others with no clear deliniency of why you received a certain performance rating. Favoritism towards others is a reason behind it , not actual performance being measured. Many high tech companies have abandoned stack ranking because they realized it’s a demoralizing and very poor measure of individual performance. Gartner doesn’t think so. Also pay is sub par , raises barely keep up with Inflation. For a company making $2 billion you would think with the kind of growth they would reward employees that have made them so successful but instead it’s the other way around. This place will one day just implode due to loss of talented analysts. It’s a ticking time bomb. Metrics are bs and take away from quality of research, be more transparent in your performance review processes by getting rid of stack ranking. If Microsoft and Amazon can do it , so can you . And they’re a much bigger companies. You will lose talent and only realize once it’s too late. Pay your analyst what’s they deserve

Always changing direction and strategy. It’s not just about being successful and hitting your number. It’s about being politically correct within all that’s communicated to you.
