Many senior managers especially in the so called growth tribe pride themselves being challengers or disrupters. As challengers they are utterly useless as they have no clue on the substance they're challenging on. They often lack basic understanding of individual markets (eg, they only know Spain from their beach holidays but consider themselves well placed to challenge the native's growth strategy) and they haven't used Google Analytics / SQL / Tableau or other tools anytime recently. As disrupters they're out to destroy individuals and their support networks to manifest their power. 360 degree feedback or multi-rater feedback is supposedly in place to facilitate fair performance assessments from a number of colleagues. In practice it's being used to allow managers to stress you out for your supposed weaknesses and use colleagues' evidence against you.

* Reward is tanking - tiny pay rise and no equity grant this year despite record revenues. New structures reduce promotion chances and overall bonus payout levels. Seems to be a headcount reduction exercise - if you don't like it you can leave. The most talented probably will, which is surely not ideal. *Bit of a feature factory determined by the business vs a product and engineering vision. Product managers reduced to project managers spending most time reporting on progress and appeasing the business from looks of it. Suspicion from business on technical investment despite urging us to go faster.
