When I interview for a job, I ask what their KPIs are. If they have an answer at all, I withdraw my application.

- MisterKent 6y agoWhy?
- maxehmookau 6y agoHalf of your post was reasonable.
- chris_wot 6y agoThe second half.
- corytheboyd 6y agoThat’s a bit extreme. I would ask them to explain why they chose the KPIs, because that’s where you’ll get the bullshitters to break down very obviously.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoWhat about “whether you're doing the work”, or “whether your team benefits from you being in it”?
- teekert 6y agoWe have "Inner Source" as a kpi now. Meaning we constantly ask projects where their code is, how others can use it and where an internal community can develop. I like this kpi.
- paxys 6y agoSo you only work for companies that don't do any kind of performance reviews or promotions?
- user5994461 6y agoI've worked at companies that had promotions/reviews and no official KPI.
- core-questions 6y agoI want to work for companies where the management knows that performance reviews and most other HR things are a bullshit formality. I should be continually getting feedback from a proper human relationship from my boss. If I am letting them down I want to know right away, not next quarter. Most of these processes are designed to compensate for managers who don't know what the hell they're doing and shouldn't be in charge of anyone.
- gvfdabgea 6y agoIll have to start doing this too.
