ITA penalize staff doing work but reward staff whom otherwise
Pros: Getting less and can’t think of anymore 
If I have to pick one, the company is extremely good in “packaging” perhaps.
Cons: 1. Zero increment - many staff had this based on recent review and for some people it is 0 for 3 years straight (note that this is people who really doing work and received positive feedback). Maybe they will acquire more companies and increasing headcount so there are no concerns in retaining people anymore? 

2. Promotion raise eyebrows - if the leadership team likes you they will promote you. Where is the professional standard!? Only double standard as evident clearly on people they promoted recently. E.g the company is asking you to participate and volunteer in other company initiatives on top of your day to day engagement work. Some people did that and did not get promoted. For those who don’t do that and perform the same standard will be promoted instead. Is this fair recognition? I guess not. 

3. Awkward culture in the practice where leaders and some ‘special’ staff like to judge and gossip on others. Where is the real leadership to lead by example? Seems to advocate bad culture and preferential treatment.
