A large part of the article is about the review/promotion system at Facebook, and it highlights that:
-Facebook has twice-a-year performance reviews.
-The reviews involve peer feedback, some of it blind to the reviewee.
-Managers have quotas for performance categories.
I believe those features are standard at most big US companies, with some exceptions like Microsoft.
The consequences are (a) twice-a-year crunch time, (b) pressure to deliver bullshit results, (c) pressure to be popular, and (d) employees are incentivized to sabotage their peers.
