The work I’m proud of.

We brought three product teams onto one design system. I learned to involve engineering earlier and test patterns before turning them into components.

Performance & reviews3 answers

Questions,
answered.

Can we run different review formats for different teams?

Yes. Review templates and cycles are configurable per group, with their own competencies, rating scales, reviewers and timelines.

How does calibration work?

Managers submit ratings, calibration sessions surface distributions and outliers against the expected curve, and agreed changes become calibration actions with owners.

Is recognition tied to rewards?

Recognition awards points and badges, and formal award programmes can be configured. Points can be linked to reward schemes through integrations.
