Advice to Senior Management

Really need a better performance evaluation system to retain talented people. I see many talented and hardworking people are treated unfairly when it comes to promotion and laddering.

Pros

Very smart people and knowledge capital / sharing

Cons

under-payed, pay not consistent for levels, some managers making more than senior managers, etc., annual performance management system not aligned with project performance

Advice to Senior Management

Don't let good people get away, be more competitive in retaining good people, it's usually something very simple and very little to keep an employee from going to a competitor
