We compared their performance review scores. I was always leery of this given how fraught performance reviews are, but that’s how the company judged employee ‘worth’ so it made sense to align there.

And just to pull on this thread a bit more ... what factored into your employer (or anyone reading my post) rating of an engineers performance?

Is it largely based on soft skills assessment. Or somehow code quality is being judge?

I honestly dont remember. It’s been a long time and I wasn’t privy to the assessments just the scores (and they were anonymized before I saw them). I do remember them being several 5 point scores.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were just manager assessments.
