Small companies with better aligned incentives (equity incentives vs. bonus and promotion as the primary upside), indie work (and unrelatedly thereby also not giving away 80-90% of the value you create to the founders and VCs), or being a founder, is the answer, at least it was for me.
- cloudbonsai 3y ago> Small companies with better aligned incentives My previous company (~50 employees) did not have performance reviews at all; Instead, employees were handed out a blank spreadsheet with names of every personnel, and asked to fill who should get how much fraction of the bonus pool. The numbers were aggregated by CEO once a year, and bonuses were paid out accordingly. I liked the system when I worked there, because it served as a yearly check on how I was perceived. The results were sometimes brutal, though.
