My current role has given me visibility into calibration for a larger (more than 10) team. The above poster is right about ‘balancing’ the reviews. We had to identify folks who could fall into Marginal to coincide with our Exceptional. It wasn’t 1:1 (it was in favor of Exceptional) but surprising that we were forced to ID people for lesser performance reviews.
Well, they just announced Spark is going away and the site will be integrated into the Roche network…more to come but I am sure we will see more the cuts soon. The Sr Exec’s ran this place into the ground and all need to go!
