Meta reviews

You’ll be surrounded by untrained managers who depend on anonymous feedback, an inability to look beyond what seems apparent, resistance to change, and a willingness to ignore issues that are disruptive and/or harmful to the public in order to further a narrative that the compamy is “good for the world” (one of the company’s PR and marketing campaigns).

- Hidden stack ranking. Everybody has to go through half year reviews. Good luck with your manager and your work! Nobody cares what exactly you did or how you did. They look at metrics and your impact, which is a BS term for making people work hard. It's not a product driven company. - It's a metrics driven company. You have to compete with recent grads. If you think you can actually make an impact, you're delusional. You're there to oblige your manager. That's it. Metrics, metrics, metrics. If you're behind in metrics, then shame on you! You let down your manager, your team and entire company. It's not any different than what it used to be at IBM or Yahoo and what actually killed those companies.
