GS peeps, now that the reviews seem to be finally over, what's your take? Better system with more flexibility or just more room for your manager to screw you?

I got 3 good, 3 outstanding, and overall my manager gave me a "Needs improvement," thoughts? Horse shit, I know.

I'm honestly appalled at the new system.

^Def screwed. Consensus: Outstanding and Good. Manager: Needs improvement

I think that the previous method of using more people provided more protection if you had a contentious relationship with your manager. You had a more significant sample of other people vouching for you. The new system gives you less of that and allows the manager to have more influence in your final assessment

Def screw. Came out unscathed, but I know a lot who didn't. Smells like a layoff excuse.

I thought the transparency (you can see how many people gave you outstanding, good, needs) would not allow a manager to screw you?

I see your point. I personally liked the transparency. If my manager had given me "needs improvement" I would've been able to call him out on it easier

I got 2 outstanding, 2 good, and 1 needs improvement. The needs improvement bit wasn't even DISCUSSED in my review. What does that even mean?

What's the new system??

@gs2 what did your manager say when you asked him/her?

At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is the quarterly, which is done "at closed doors"

My firm’s policy requires a minimum tenure in current role before interviewing and switching to another internal role.

TIA

Is this a red flag? - I interviewed for a financial analyst role with a company -

Had several rounds of interviews back in May, all signs pointed to that they all loved my resume and personality and I made a great impression. I was told that the role was on hold due to “beaucracy” but the hiring manager from the role has kept in touch. He then reached out to me yesterday asking if I’m still interested and want to move forward..no offer letter, just gauging my interest.

What would be your take?
