Pros

Good people, both bright and funny.

Interesting problems.

What you do will be used by lots of people.

They want to win and feel they can.

Cons

They do use the grading curve for reviews. Not the most bleeding edge, but reasonably close.

Advice to Management

Find better ways to promote from within. Grading on a curve only works if the distribution of your recruits is better than the distribution of your current staff. By stifling promotion from within, you're encouraging those that are great but not politically connected to leave.
