Pros

um, it’s hard to say these days.

Cons

EOY Performance management is so bizzare and suspicious. Submitting your review to ED’s before submitting to your manager to make sure it’s “properly compliant” is a great failure of leadership and a lack of managerial courage to actively deal with low performers during the year. This punishes the majority of the company.
