In my experience 360 peer evaluations will be gamed. Employees cosy with each other but not necessarily in exactly the same team will give each other good reviews and won't ask for reviews from their direct teammates. They'll pull out extremely harsh criticisms without warning, and without fully understanding the person they're reviewing. Btw, this isn't just my personal experience. Here's a bit from that NYT piece on Amazon again: > After she had a child, she arranged with her boss to be in the office from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, pick up her baby and often return to her laptop later. Her boss assured her things were going well, but her colleagues, who did not see how early she arrived, sent him negative feedback accusing her of leaving too soon. ... “I can’t stand here and defend you if your peers are saying you’re not doing your work,” she says he told her. She left the company after a little more than a year. ... Ms. Willet’s co-workers strafed her through the Anytime Feedback Tool, the widget in the company directory that allows employees to send praise or criticism about colleagues to management.
