The individual performance only matters to a minimal extent, as we keep hearing from our managers and directors over and over again that the BU did not get enough budget for promotions or hikes. So, even if you are a high performer and not in one of those GREAT BUs, the hikes are not really hikes. You can get stuck way below the market range for your grade.
Not sure if the company/HR has disclosed about the gender pay gap.
