CME
- CME @ Google L6 Can anyone comment from Google how tough it is to get CME or better @ Google as a 6? Any insight into how prevelent PIPs are there and what those look like?
- CME as a Noogler I joined Google in September as a new grad SWE, and received a CME (meets expectations) for my perf review. I was wondering if this is a bad or good thing. I heard that CME is not very common. My team is working on a new product that will launch next year.
- NI to CME L3 SWE 2020 P1+ 2020 P2 was NI (No PIP) 2021P1 is CME 2021P2 is going well potentially an EE I also have onsites with FB London , would probably switch if I get it 1. Will I be marked non-regrettable if I leave before or after the current perf ?
- Google CME perf rating increase I am a L4 Googler from India. Just completed my perf with my manager. My manager marked me CME for my first Noogler journey and completion. Is it mandatory all Nooglers get CME rating? They told we cannot give more as you haven't accomplished many projects. What will be my percent increase in base
- Googler: Perf CME back to back I joined Google last October as an L3 new grad, today just chat with my manager about upcoming perf cycle. He mentioned I'm borderline between CME and EE this cycle, and I'm sensing he's leaning CME from the tone. I already have a CME for my first cycle as a noogler so I'm pretty disappointed. So qu

- How much refresher does Google L4 SWE get with CME rating See title.
- vote Do I suck if I only make 200k in Bay area with 4 yoe + masters and get CME in 2 cycles at L3 level? 2 yoe before masters in India and 2 after masters at Google. I really feel I am the biggest loser on Blind. Everyone else who makes similar TC in Bay area has less yoe, higher level, higher ratings. Those who have same yoe + masters make a lot more plus have higher level and ratings. This is demot
- Google perf What it takes to get EE in perf next cycle .I joined Google in late 2022 and got CME . My manager wanted me to be an SME in a particular business area . Well let’s say I become an SME by next perf does it mean I met the expectations and will still get CME. So I am wondering what should I really do
- vote Super perf is coming. Each IC/MGR will have a “Perf-VISOR”, which is a person looking over their shoulder and telling them how their doing a “great job” and “showing impact” but will confusingly be rating them @“high-cme” because of “politics”. How often will a perf-visor rate us? /s

I have been working so hard since 6 months and it is heartbreaking to still get CME after so much work.. feels like I am working my ass off to just keep the job.. forget jumping t

- Two meets expectations in a row? Two meets expectations in a row? T5, 350k I am under the impression that two CME in a row means that it's time to look for a new job as the next one will likely be worse, probably enough to be a PIP. Am I right or just seeing things in the shadows?
- Google perf question How bad is it if you keep getting CMEs. Tbh I do not care whatsoever about promotion. I just want to rest and vest, do the bare minimum at work to skate by and be happy and enjoy my life outside of work. Will I get fired if I only do the bare minimum and get CMEs every cycle? L4 btw and I’m fine wi
