The cliche answer is that it depends on the team, but I do think that the chance of getting on the right team for career advancement is a lot higher at a growing company. I've known multiple Googlers who got rekt by their teams and eventually left without promo, while others zoomed to (Google) L5/L6. Take me for example: I don't see a clear path to L5/L6 on my team, hence why I'm moving soon.
Twitter is currently on a hiring spree, and they are also doing internal promotions a lot. I would say Twitter has much higher chances of making it to next level compared to Google. Can't comment on Stripe.
No one has ever been promoted at Google from what I hear
Joke right? A friend of mine was promoted for L3 -> L4 recently
Obviously half joke but I do hear mid level and above promotions are super hard to come by, new grad to senior might be more doable
