Kimberly-Clark reviews

Location - Northern Wisconsin is not the type of place you want to be as a young professional. Nice place to settle down and have a family though. Buildings where old - they had me tucked away in the basement. Was never clear how projects I worked on helped the organization. Never saw the physical piece of equipment my software supported. Supervisor didn't care to review my work nor did he take the time to find me additional work when I had completed my assigned tasks.

Unfair evaluation system - Started out putting people in a bell shaped curve for performance. That was OK. Then got rid of the bottom - OK and redistributed the "keepers" who are a truncated distribution of performance levels into a forced bell shaped curve. That meant if you looked crosseyed at someone you were lowered in the next review because what else did they have to go on - "somebody has to be a three". Managers cannot manage people. Middle managers were promoted based on their ability to do the work rather than manage the work. As a result managers are very bad at evaluating people fairly and distributing the work to those who have the ability to do it. Bias for lauches not development
