Agree 100% Splines. We've found that people are surprised way too often in their performance reviews (which is actually how this company came about). 1:1s and face to face interaction is incredibly valuable and we don't seek to replace or uproot that in any way. However, another important component is keeping a record of progress so that the annual review is based on something factual or at least written (especially when the review is the basis for promotion/termination/bonuses etc). In addition, we've seen that MicroEval can be a good tool that facilitates and begins conversations about performance and growth.
