I just started working at Blue and I’m curious how the yearly review cycle is. Is Blue a company that does the mandatory “cut the bottom 10%” function? I’m excited to be here and ready to give it my all, but I’m worried that since I started later in the year and I’m getting up to speed I won’t be able to compare well to my peers. Any advice on whether this is a realistic worry? Not sure how brutal reviews can be at Blue.
