Nitpick: The slide, "How we set your salary", shows a (presumably) normal distribution (with specified mean and std. dev.) and then uses this to determine the percentile value. (Since a normal distribution is fully specified by mean and variance)
However, is a normal distribution appropriate for income/wages? (Or better: Would this even have an effect on the percentile value?)

A policy to set salaries without considering how far above average the candidate is is unsettling. It speaks of seeing people as fungible cogs. If one person won't accept our distribution-based-standard-offer, oh well, next... As a candidate I would see that and then begin to question whether other good people turned them down, and what caliber is the team I'd actually join.
