Generally I have hated them for many of the reasons stated above. The first review I had at this company, I got averages across the board (policy since I had only been on the job a few months). The second review was considered to be exceptional (but my average rating was 2.5 on a 1 (best) to 5 (worst) scale). They never used 1s or 5s and rarely gave 2s. My review was skewed a bit so that it could be rounded to a 3 but high enough so that my raise was better. It's all a game sometime. It makes me wonder if I really want to move into management (which is really my next step). This review was better. It actually gave me some pretty good feedback for once. They want me to be a bit more vocal in meetings with certain managers who don't know me as well as some of the others. I was also told I was "key" to the team, and they would hate to lose me.
