What is your company’s productivity metric for SWEs?

For us, it’s Github (Enterprise) contributions. That counts as commits, merge commits, comments on PRs, and approval/rejections of PRs. Not *everything* is based off that number, but it gets reported in annual reviews.

C1's metric? Whatever the managers feel like saying about you behind closed doors.

That's probably most common way. First they ask your teammates about you, behind closed doors.

This question is about metrics. Every company had politics. Yours is no different.

I think we don't have metric as such. But it depends on individual contributions, your contributions to success of others, other's contributions to your success, opinion by senior engineers. For growth it depends on your impact, budget and career stage(how many in your org are having same designation as yours).

Fucking VSTS tickets. I should just start creating then for every damn thing just to play the game.
