Pros

The benefits are hard to beat.

Cons

The senior leadership team and HR heads are trying their hardest to destroy the company culture. They are promoting a toxic work environment by pitting employee against employee for annual ratings. They don’t trust their managers to accurately rate their subordinates and are forcing 15% of the company into “Does not meet” or “partially meets” boxes, giving them no raise and severely reduced bonuses. Employees can do extra work and not miss a single deadline or metric but still receive less pay just because their manager isn’t trusted to properly rate subordinates.

Company culture is beyond repair. Zero comradery. Managers blamed for bad policy. Burnout everywhere. Concerning politics. Tribal knowledge is gone forever.
