- burger_moon 8y agoOne thing that most people don't realize at big tech companies is how much your time actually is monitored. The amount of tickets you close out, the amount of code reviews you publish, how many code reviews of other employees you're doing. There's a lot of metrics that are not openly discussed but are being tracked and watched to make sure you're performing at the same level as your peers.
