On: What it was like working for Gitlab

I'm not sure how you can evaluate 30 people you don't interact with closely.

NIMS, the National Incident Management System, talks of ICs having between 3-7 direct reports, when there is a need to be connected to what they are doing, because beyond that, you can't reconcile things easily.

I don't know the exact process, but AFAIK managers pull the evaluation from many people you do interact with (outside and inside the team).
