Does meta has forced stack ranking?

I hear if you get 2 meet most then you are put on pip? Does these 2 meet most have to be continuous or any point of time in career? Can people share performance rating policies in meta. Are these every quarter or yearly?

Meta hiam Jan 22, 2022

This is not true. It’s common to get MM for IC5+. The key is trend. If you are over time trending up (MM->MA (Promo) -> MM) then it’s fine. But after the first MM your manager is supposed to help you identify the gaps you need to improve and work together to close them. If you don’t or they don’t support you then it looks bad on them

How are refreshers granted

Meta hiam Jan 22, 2022

Annually, based on rating and level. There’s a base $$ amount that has multipliers

Technically, You're on PIP with anything less than MA. They'll start to track your progress, provide you with mentorship opportunities and your manager will micro manage a bit more with intention to get you back on track. That said, it's quite easy to come out of one MM than multiple consecutive ones. Meta is a pay for performance company.

So basically managing for good intentions right?

Meta Undoned Jan 22, 2022

Yes 100%. Your Managers job is to ensure you succeed. That said, the employee also has to show intention to succeed and show positive trends. Skip Manager/Director will get involved if no progress is made over multiple cycles. They'd try to provide you with even more resources. At that point, the employee is on the hot seat to show definitive progress.

Fake news

Lol what do call Amazon then? Pip amusement park?

LinkedIn FIREmanđŸ’Ș Jan 22, 2022

I heard it’s 15% who must get MM every cycle. If you get two MM consecutively you are PIP’ed.

Meta metadumb Jan 22, 2022

Nope

LinkedIn FIREmanđŸ’Ș Jan 22, 2022

So what percentage must get MM every cycle? 10%?

Amazon 🐉 DragonZ OP Jan 22, 2022

Did performance review change to yearly from quarterly?

Meta sniow Jan 22, 2022

It changed to annual from bi annual.

Amazon 🐉 DragonZ OP Jan 22, 2022

That means one cannot be kicked before 2 years?

Meta zuckzilla Jan 22, 2022

I have seen decent amount of packages and MM is usually not a surprise for a person. Usually they would fail almost every project they took on and don’t have good signals in other areas (e.g no people contributions). During mashups every manager is really supportive and tries to help prepare a better package. I was really surprised of how fair it was. If you are delivering at Amazon you will be fine at Meta.

What does MM / MA mean?

eBay iAmUrDady Jan 22, 2022

Meets most Meets all Correct me if I am wrong

Amazon lambda fn Jan 22, 2022

Meets Most and Meets All Meets Most is the issue and actually I think 10% of the org of a certain level let’s say E5s go to the MM bucket

Every company has a stack ranking process.

Meta gEKd541 Jan 23, 2022

You dont get PIPed automatically after getting 2 consecutive MMs. I know people that were fine because their trajectory was strong at the end. You CAN get PIPed without ever getting an MM rating... no one is waiting for a full performance cycle if it's clear you're not meeting the bar and are not on a trajectory to get there

Meta phormeta Jan 23, 2022

I have seen people being let go with 1 mm. I have also seen people with MM, get EE next half. If you get MM and do not improve, you can be let go sooner.
