Amazon's Stressed Out Culture Is Burning Out Employees 12 years ago
So out of curiosity, which major tech companies operate on a stack ranking system? It seems that Microsoft has gotten the most flack for it in the past, but it seems that many other companies also have it. Here's what I've heard, from different employees at different companies:
* Amazon - top 20%/70%/bottom 10% buckets
* Facebook - definite bucketed review system every six months
* Google - unsure if bucketed, but performance review every three months and again at end of the year.
* Yahoo - definite bucketed review system every three months and again at end of the year.
If anyone knows the performance review systems at any other company, please definitely feel free to call them out in the replies.
