Going through a heavy metafication. Stack ranking. They keep track of your pull requests count, number of interviews, number of participation in HOTs and pos incident reviews. All of that counts when they do the performance review.
Big products move slow, teams working on same area of the product are often misaligned on changes. One teams undo what the other planned, or work is conflicting.
A lot of the focus now is to achieve the goals to get a good performance review, moving the focus from delivering a good product to the customers to producing proof that you are useful to the big corp.
