Root of all evil = Performance Review Model
Pros: Sharp individual contributors, but all the good and hones ones (i.e. who don't play dirty political games) quit.
Cons: 1) the worst performance review model ... ever! Encourages competition and backstabbing, not collaboration and a healthy team environment.
2) Deteriorating health benefits
3) Flat stock
4) Poor work life balance.
