I've been in tech 14 years, and I've never worked anywhere where a manager discussed KPIs with people on my level. But the companies I worked for also had billions in the bank, so maybe this just implies that companies of that size don't need engineers to look at KPIs.
Get rid of the stupid TV dashboards and put up a decent Monet. It sucks working in a physical manifestation of a computer.

Things are a little different at a startup when there are ten of you sitting in one big room and the business lives or dies based on what each and every person does in that room.
