Job Level 1 Evaluation Questions

Purpose

To outline self-evaluation for Level 1: an internship or junior position.

Scope

Covers self-evaluation questions for job level 1, for both general criteria and technical (guild) tracks.

Evaluation Criteria

Professional Development

  • Regularly reviews other team members’ work, and asks questions about it (code reviews, XD links, shared videos, stage sites)
  • You are dependable. The team feels they can rely on you do follow through with things. You document tasks (Trello usually) and follow up on them.
  • Tries to solve problems yourself. But then, asks questions.

Communications

  • Makes meetings on time, checks both email and slack daily, and notifies of absence in advance (and follows communications charter)
  • Often refers to the operations manual, and asks questions about it when something is unclear or could be improved.
  • Makes consistent improvement of any size to the systems around you (flag outdated content from the ops manual, small refactors such as renaming a variable for clarity, make a small design or usability improvement).
  • Shows gratitude to the team (for example, mention them in the #thanks channel) or thank them on other channels.
  • Shares work (screenshots, staging links, XD links, code snippets) with the team and clients in your client- and guild- channels, because seeing great work raises the bar for everyone and is very motivating.

Project Management

  • Speaks up, and asks questions during meetings, because you shouldn’t be in a meeting if you don’t contribute.
  • Checks OKRs mid-month, and asks for help.

Technical Track Questions

UX

  • Makes an effort to understand and interact with end users. For example, is present in discovery meetings, user interviews, usability sessions.
  • Identifies personas using each UI and how, and tests their user stories (UATs) when developing user interfaces (on devices they use). Test your work!

Devs

  • Leave comments in your own code asking questions when you submit your own pull request
  • Completed all training during the onboarding and presented at least once during a developers guild meeting.

Operations

  • Asks questions outside their own guilds about how and why things work at the company.
  • Shares feedback about what they like and suggestions to improve.

DevOps

  • Complete Docker training, and is comfortable running our projects locally
  • Complete Linux training and has a Linux laptop or VM for local work
