Performance Bonus based on Moving Target
Pros: The ability to shift between various groups and positions was really great.
Learning new skills that could be applied to the current job or even the next one was encouraged. 
People were the best part.
Cons: Compensation after you arrived did not keep pace with the industry. 
Personal Business Commitments (PBCs) were tied to annual increases and bonus, but used imaginary numbers to artificially down grade the payouts to employees even during great years for IBM as a company.  If you are having an excellent year expect the target to be moved, "to increase challenge".
