Is there any company with no performance review?

I hate performance review periods. Writing a review about myself sounds ridiculous. First off, I am not good at advertising. Nor have I interest in it. I am a simple engineer. Nothing more nothing less. Also, getting evaluated by a manager makes me nervous and affects my creativity. I feel like I have to prove something all the time. Somehow I have managed to get meets all, every single review in every single company I worked for, by simply playing safe. But, if there was no review process I would have produced much better results and sure I would have crashed a few times. So, I want to take risk in my work, but not the kind of risk that make me loose my job since at 35+ years of age, with 3 kids, single income family, I live paycheck to paycheck. Is there any company in Bay Area that does not have performance reviews?

Seriously?? How do they decide who to fire?

Managers rate and then adjust ratings to come up with a list. They also fire people frequently.

It was in my .org at Oracle. Very poor work culture and bad experience

Even your mom secretly has performance reviews

Overstock.com ...they did away with their performance reviews ...but trust me ...it's bad not to have performance reviews... There are no logical reasons for promoting or firing and it's just become chaotic ... overstock is dying ...I would totally take the pain and write my reviews ...you need to do that to be able to sell yourself better ...it might be tough but everyone does it ...also not everything depends on what you write ...your good work also adds up

Amazon. Managers do it in OLR (organizational leadership review). Everything is decided there based on their point of view. Later some peer review collection happens but it have word limits like 160 words or sth like that and you only talk about mostly positive feel good things. Takes 2 hours max which is not bad for the entire year.
