i try not to work for car salesmen and in such a case it would be hard for such a person to fit into the company. @philwelch, it falls into the category of anti-patterns. the idea is that because it's open and part of the process, its not hidden and so the politics of it are not hidden. additionally only those that want to work in such a pay scale would accept the job. so you are basically agreeing to get rated by your peers before you accept the job. if you were to take an existing company and transition into this pay model you would probably see excessive attrition. it also means that your peers are responsible for your raise, rather than someone who does not understand your work. if you feel undercut, you will leave, and if your work is valuable then the team will miss you, as you will effect their productivity. again this is an anti-pattern is meant to disrupt normal strategies.
