A Performance Review Example for Software Engineers (from an engineering manager)

Thank you, I am working as a Software Engineer for 4 years now but I haven't really ever wrote down anything in terms of goals or expectancies. I will pick up this habit now, it just makes sense! Very informative and straight to the point 🙏

Thank you so much! It's so hard to find how to write a self-evaluation from the engineer's prospectives. Your material is pure gold!

Great tips, thank you!
Should I talk about my concerns at the performance review? Things that worry me, whether they are my personal challenges or relate to the whole team?

Thanks I will come back to this in my review coming in July!

Is putting citations from chats with who told you "thanks" a good idea? Looks very odd.

I've worked as a software engineer for a while, but it's always a mystery to me how things look from my manager's perspective. In one video you said that managers want their employees to succeed and get promoted because it makes them look good. This makes sense to me, but is not something I would have known otherwise, although it's probably super fundamental! I was wondering if you could do future videos on how managers think, what their goals are, how to make them happy, what power they do or don't have to help engineers, anything along those lines. Looking forward to new videos the ones you've made so far are amazing!

this is gold standard!

This is great content, thanks a million for sharing, I will share for sure with juniors because that is exactly what I wished I knew back then.

Gergely, thank you so much for sharing the template. I can see my team and myself benefiting from it in the next review :)

Great info! I can’t wait to share this with my Junior Engineers.

Thanks Gergely. Using this + another article to ask for a raise. If that doesn't go as planned, I also bought your book on resume writing. Go 2021! Can't wait for your next book.

Watching this right before writing my own performance review for this year. :)

This is great! Any plans for video of writing impact resume? The most successful 1000 words to write 😞

Awesome! Quite useful, straight to the point and very (ironically) pragmatic . Thank you for sharing!
