Pros

You can write papers and convince people in management to do anything you want with business value.

Cons

Extremely low yearly increases that will take away your enthusiasm and willingness to work hard.

Increasingly apparent nepotism and favoritism, which I think is depleting the company's resources on incompetent people.

Advice to Management

Work on humanizing total compensation philosophy. We are humans with needs, and we need increases when we work hard to compensate for our needs. If my increasing hard work, inventions, and new ideas do not have monetary value, then I would gradually start doing less and less to the level that I can get by without going into PIP until I find another job elsewhere.
