I can't name my employer (too small - less than a thousand egineers) but I can tell you they are tracking using a plugin for Atlassian. We are an Atlassian shop through and through including our source code control. They deployed this plugin last year. What is really sinister is that it's open to all employees so they can see in real time how they rank against their peers ącross the various metrics.

I'm pretty sure Atlassian peddles this product to everyone who uses their suite.

Do you think this rating correlates with reality?

Of course. The best engineer should have the best workaround to inflate the highest artificial metric.

Exactly. We already know that such metrics do not identify the best performers, they identify those who are willing and able to game the system the most.
