Performance Review
Performance review is a systematic process used by organizations to evaluate an employee's job performance, skills, achievements, and areas for improvement over a specific period. It typically involves feedback from managers, peers, and sometimes self-assessments, aiming to align individual goals with organizational objectives. The process often includes setting future performance goals, identifying development needs, and making decisions related to compensation, promotions, or training.
Developers should understand performance reviews to effectively navigate career growth, receive constructive feedback, and demonstrate their technical contributions in a structured way. This is crucial during annual evaluations, promotion cycles, or when seeking mentorship, as it helps articulate achievements in projects, code quality, and teamwork. In agile or tech-driven environments, it also supports continuous improvement by aligning personal development with team and company goals.
