Pros

Stability? Perhaps. If you can routinely beat out at least 25% of your peers in performance, you can stay on with IBM indefinitely.

Cons

Process focus is extreme. This may be a lack of maturity on my part, but IBM spends what seem like inordinate amounts of effort in focusing on process instead of results.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the bell curve distribution on PBC ratings, or explain to your leadership that it's a suggestion rather than a top-down requirement.
