6 months on board ... New Hire!
Pros: Great onboarding practices to bring new hires up to speed at any level.
Cons: Performance ranking and calibration measures drive behavior and measurement that isn't consistent with an individual's overall ability to contribute.  It is 12 month bound and doesn't reflect the value of a particular employee who may have had a bad year for internal or external reasons.
