I guess it is becoming just like any other consultancy companies out there. I always had the impressin that Thoughtworks culture was very different.

Things that the person previously knew or was told they needed to change and haven't. 2. Things the person previously knew or was told they needed to change and have. 3. Things the person wasn't told or knew but did change. I don't think it should be based on things the person didn't change because they didn't know or weren't told about in time for them to change. This gives them a chance when they were unaware of the issue. It also means that performance reviews are more fair for those who do change and improve.
