I see a lot of FB employees criticize the stressful pressure to show “impact” for PSC every 6 months. What exactly is impact? Especially curious for SWEs.

Biannual perf reviews aren’t uncommon across companies so I’m wondering what makes FB more stressful.

  • Impact is making up a metric and a story and convincing everyone you moved that metric. It is also the biggest load of BS because people use questionable methods to measure that metric. When you are evaluated in the space of 2 or 3 minutes (it's called a Calibration Meeting), nobody has the time or will to call out that BS.

    This is also why Facebook always has the problems that it has. You can't always measure preventing a problem - the absence of a metric - but you can measure cleaning up a problem.
