Lattice

Lattice is a modern, cloud-based people management and performance platform purpose-built for companies prioritizing continuous performance development, transparent goal alignment, and data-informed people decisions---especially through structured performance reviews, OKR tracking, and proactive engagement measurement. Its 8 core features include continuous performance reviews (enabling real-time feedback, check-ins, and manager-employee conversations instead of annual cycles), robust OKR/goal tracking with visual dashboards, customizable employee engagement surveys with industry benchmarks and trend analysis, comprehensive 360-degree feedback workflows with anonymous and attributed options, integrated career development tools featuring skill mapping, growth plans, and internal mobility pathways, calibration sessions for fair and consistent review scoring across teams, a compensation management add-on for equity, bonus, and salary planning (sold separately), and powerful people analytics with pre-built reports on retention risk, performance distribution, and engagement drivers. Key pros include its best-in-class continuous performance framework that fosters ongoing dialogue and agility, seamless OKR alignment from company-wide objectives down to individual contributors with automatic progress updates, highly actionable engagement surveys backed by benchmarking against thousands of peers, intuitive and effective 360 feedback that reduces administrative friction while increasing psychological safety, and an exceptionally clean, intuitive UX/UI that both managers and employees adopt quickly with minimal training. Notable cons are that the compensation module is a costly add-on rather than native, it lacks built-in recruiting or ATS functionality requiring integration with Greenhouse or Lever, HRIS capabilities like payroll or benefits administration are intentionally limited (it's not an HCM), and some enterprise customers find it comparatively lightweight versus monolithic suites. Pricing starts at $11/user/month (billed annually) with tiered plans scaling in analytics depth and admin controls. Lattice shines most for growth-stage companies with 20--2000 employees actively building a performance-driven culture---not just running reviews but transforming how feedback, goals, and growth intersect. Per G2, it holds an overall 4.5/5 rating (features 90/100, ease of use 88/100, value for money 84/100, support quality 87/100). A realistic testmomial reads: 'We cut our review cycle time by 65% and saw a 32% increase in manager-initiated check-ins within six months---Lattice didn't just digitize our process, it rewired how we talk about growth.' Top alternatives include BambooHR (stronger HRIS foundation but weaker OKRs), Rippling (tighter IT/HR ops integration), Workday (enterprise-scale HCM with heavier implementation), and Culture Amp (deeper survey science but less robust performance workflow).
