How can you remove the dread from a self-review?
An engineer’s self-review guide
Self-reviews or performance self-reflections are a normal part of many companies’ performance review cycles. It’s an opportunity for employees to respond to a few prompts, capture their accomplishments over a time period (quarter, half, year, etc.), reflect on how they could have improved, and consider what they’d like to try for the upcoming time period.
Self-reviews might be one of the most dreaded parts of the performance review cycle. If you’re like me, you might spend more time thinking about working on them than actually working on them.
