Pros

Ability to move into new roles within the same company.

Cons

Review system designed to pit employees against each other, rather than collaborate.

Advice to Management

Facilitate collaboration, rather than competition.

Review the pay increase system:

As an upline manager, I had to determine every year which 15% were 'underperforming' and would go on a PIP (had to hit this target), which 35% were overperforming/eligible for pay increase. The other 65% had no pay increase; every year, same targets.
