At capital one, the leadership decides beforehand the distribution for performance buckets. For example last year, they decided at least 12% would get Inconsistent rating and placed on PIP. The calibration process consists of the managers all getting together and bickering about which employee needs to be placed where. It's a total political process with little fairness. I have leetcoded hard and ready to apply to FAANG, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, Dropbox and such high paying companies. Do any of them have a similar year end calibration process involving forced stack ranking? Dallas 120K 8 yoe
Don’t think real tech companies did that ; good luck in your onsites , vouching for you
Amazon is notorious for stack ranking.
I'm a manager at Amazon and I've never been told how to rank my people.one year a third of my team was TT and HR never told me I had to change it. This will be the first year I ever rank someone LE.
Amazon does.
I heard Fb also rank people.
Most companies have some kind of bucketing, I believe. FB does have calibration and bucketing (you can be put into one of 7 buckets from "not meeting expectations" to "redefines expectations"), but the process is largely fair, and there is no forced stack ranking afaik. But so far FB has not had a mass layoff. It's still a growing company. If that changes, I don't know how things will change.
While we do have buckets, we don’t have a forced curve. I’ve never seen a calibration where someone was moved down to meet a curve.
That's really cool. I'd love to see how that works.
Oracle does
They’re all the same
Uber does not have stack ranking.
Amazon does the same shit, but it seems less political and I'm more willing to put up with being rated "unfairly" at a FAANG company than C1 (former TDP here). I'd rather be called a shitty engineer at a FAANG company and possibly deserve it than called a shitty engineer at Crapital One and absolutely not deserve it.
Did you move after tdp ended or during ?
I started applying after a little over a year. Left before I reached a year and a half. My old handle on Blind is Desu.

♥️ The mods banned my account. I think they proactively prune accounts if you posted about quitting.
Sounds like Microsoft.
Old Microsoft
New msft is the same, just covered by a blanket
