If you're curious, the goal of the dots[0] is not a score but to create a portrait of your strengths and weaknesses, as an input to you for what to improve on, and to others for what to rely on you or not. The dots were along various personality attributes. For example, I was very high on "assertive and openminded at the same time" but very low on "organized and reliable." One obvious use of such things is that I can decide if I want to work on being more organized and reliable, or if I really need to be guard-railed with a pure project manager working alongside me.

If this dogma catches on, knowledge workers will end up suffering under the yoke of information age Taylorism. This nonsense must be crushed early, lest all companies end up looking like coinbase and BW. BW works because they are willing to pay top dollar for people to play along and pander to the management, but please don't spread this nonsense to the rest of the tech world.

I didn't find that anyone stuck around BW for the money. The money was good but the caliber of folks that could get jobs there could get good offers elsewhere.

People had appetite to engage this way.
