One reason I'd never work for a company with a 'bottom 10% gets PIP'd' mentality is that it directly conflicts with my goal of self development. Of course I want to be on a great team where everyone performs better than I do. That's how I hone my craft! It just seems really wasteful to have to cull the bottom 10% of every team, even if that team is performing well. I wish there was a list of companies that subscribed to that mentality, so I could avoid them.
