I remember a lot of Googlers on Blind and other people complaining Google is not what it used to be, promo sucks, I am moving to fb.
Now that fb has also suspended their promo for 2020 where are you going to move??

    Still FB. If I join at L+1, no need to worry about promo for few years. And then I will come back to G at L+2.

      I agree there are FB people upleveled to G. I think no one have enough data to show which way is easier. So it’s meaningless to argue about that. I assume we all agree on two things 1.) it’s not easy to be promoted to L6/E6+. 2.) it’s possible to get level up from other companies.

    • You can definitely go from G to FB at L+1 lots of people do that. But don't you think you can boomerang back at even L+1 let alone L+2. Everyone tries to do this and recruiters shut it down pretty hard.

    • Booking.com - that's a pretty rush judgement without the necessary context...

      The promotions decisions has nothing to do with cost and therefore is unrelated to the fact fb is hiring. The approach being taken is actually costing the company more than a regular cycle with promotions.

      The decision that was made was to reduce tension and stress for most people during covid-19. That meant supporting leaves of 2+ months for caregivers and the elimination of the performance cycle in h1 simply defaulting everyone to a bonus multiplier of 125% (which is a higher overall cost for the company...). The goal was to reduce stress and to let people spend time taking care of their family.

      The issue with that was - what will the company do with top performers?

      There is no easy solution for that because all the relevant decisions (high performance ratings, promotions, etc) are dependent on the work being executed as part of a performance cycle.

      At the end the decision that was made was that top performers will get recognized in the next cycle, but that we wont have promotions this half because we cant run a fair process without a performance cycle

    Post is not correct. They are still promoting h2, and there will be higher than normal promos to compensate some people that have earned it throughout the year. Everyone getting bonus for ratings in H1 and other bonus, wait, what is the question OP?
