Worked one place with a roughly 50/50 split between "subjective manager's opinion" and transparent business KPIs. It was OK. My work partially affected the KPIs so they were sort of fair.
KPIs like "share price" and "revenue" where you as Software Engineer #39 have little effect can be frustrating but at least they're transparent and you can connect the dots between that number and your compensation.
