It was a warm summer day in Mountain View, California, USA. I was heading to the office to work, but this wasn’t just any office day: It was performance review day (perf day for short). Every year, Googlers are required to submit a packet to the Googler Reviews and Development (GRAD) system. The main objective of this packet is to show your impact in the company for a promotion.
