Vote if you work or worked at Facebook (poll regarding PIP)

I am seeing lots of PIP talk about Facebook. Let’s see the rate of people who got PIPed at Facebook. Please vote only if you currently work or has ever worked for Facebook. I didn’t include whether you got over it or had to leave as that will make the poll messy. Let’s keep it simple. (Vote for you only, not your colleague)

PIP rate seems extremely high. Perhaps, people who didn’t get PIP are less interested in voting?

I think Facebook may have gotten rid of pips as a prerequisite for firing for E4+

Hold on, so are E4+ now being fired with immediate and no previous notice?

This isn’t true. I just watched an e4 and an e6 fail pips this half.

Would being let go without PIP count as PIP?

Wow. What kind warning do they get?

What level and role were you in?

So it looks like Amazon is much more aggressive for issuing PIP during the first two years (according to the other poll), and Facebook issues more than Amazon for the employees who were at the job more than two years.

For eng with less than two years of data points at FB to prove that low perf is an anomaly and not the norm, it could be that FB often skips PIP step.

That makes sense
