Amazon has managers that pip if you are looking for an internal transfer to a different team. Do Apple managers do the same? Are they required pip their underperformers or to meet a quota? #apple
So far I have seen 7 internal transfers around me and they were smooth. No grudges on either side. My manager is supportive of choice employees make in his team. He tries to retain them but doesn’t hinder the process if a person really wants to join a different team.
My previous manager played shit!
Can you tell us in brief What happened ?
RSU refresher can hit bottom if one disclose the plan before review
That's everywhere. But what about transferring between different roles? Like SDET to SDE? Also does manager pip their engineers if they look for externally?
There’s nothing known as PIP at Apple
So if your manager is unhappy with you then he just gives low ratings but no pip?
Well, if you do not perform you would not survive anywhere. I am guessing there are very rare such people who would pass the hiring bar.
I've seen this at ARM. Project sucked, manager imcompetent. Tried to graciously move so I don't constantly feel like an idiot, got plenty of interest. Informed manager, clearly ego was hurt but tried to maintain a poker face. Suddenly I'm 4/5 "Need Improvement" down from 5/5 High Performing. Indian manager. This also blocks you from moving jobs officially within the company. Now attrition at ARM is high and only able to find mediocre graduates to fill in all the gaps in the organistation. Now it's like nothing happened and I'm suddenly liked by management again. There is a lot of discretion in how you get treated at tech, you are just a commodity at these companies and replaceable and get bullied when they get arrogant, and suddenly you are their best friend when they realise if their attrition continues the area gets transferred overseas and they are unemployed with only toxic middle-manager skills and only IBM is hiring.
No, but the manager, in most cases, would make sure your life is miserable in his/her team if you end up staying(so you get desperate to leave on your own) or would pull all strings to bad mouth you to the new hiring manager (or the new team) or delay your joining the new team. Apple’s internal transfer is terrible and badly broken.
Miserable life is fine as long as they don't manage you out right? Also does the new manager talk or take feedback from the old manager?
yes, they do unless you have a good rapport with the new manager and (s)he knows you well, and there lies the rub.
