Performance Bonus

Poor focused on Execs to get theirs

The performance bonus program seemed to me to be quite nice.

it was 20% of your base salary so guess it was nice

At the highest individual contributor levels, you'll receive an annual bonus = 15-25% of your base income.

Long term cash incentives are offered on a limited basis

ok Rate Dell for their Performance Bonus

Got OK yearly raises (bonus)

Only if the company makes money and only if you are the top performer on the team will you get an annual bonus payout. Annual performance raises are not annual, but more like every 18 months if we are lucky. I have averaged 1.1% per year performance raise over a 10 year period even with satisfactory or above annual ratings.

-targeted bonuses based on job grade adjusted by company performance (this year 80% of target, last year 130%) Shrinking markets and massive debt soon to be on the books I'd expect the norm to be annual reduction of bonus %.
