Calibration process is forcing unhealthy competition
Pros: 1. Generally good benefits-- medical, dental, health club, PRIME (local attractions) discounts, etc.
2. Many smart people
Cons: 1. Review process and calibration curve appears to favor and disfavor employees due to politics
2. Calibration curve results in limited partnerships/collaboration among peers in same band
3. My pet peeve: nearly all parking spaces are marked "compact" so SUVs regularly ding my door
