Cons
1. Annual performance incentive (variable pay) is not revised on a yearly basis. This is the BIGGEST drawback. Even though the fixed pay gets revised annually, the variable remains the same for several years. So the variable component as a proportion of the overall pay keeps shrinking with time. Due to this reason, the actual salary revision % is lesser than the number communicated, because ONLY the fixed component changes. For example, if the increment is 7%, this means that fixed component changes by 7% but variable component changes by 0%. Hence, the actual revision to the gross pay would be somewhere around 5-6% depending on how big the variable component is. 2. Promotions and growth are slower compared to other global offices even if you have a great performance record. Due to this a lot of staff members relocate to other offices and come back after a few years as a senior leader
