Google doing more layoffs, restructuring including country moves
For an engineer, which is easier, all things being equal?
What I see is these have normalized a bit from market forces. L6 promos at A used to be brutal but have now become just moderately hard, similar to G L5. Note that the promos select for somewhat different things. And both companies seem to mishire seniors externally sometimes.
Amazon L5 to L6 is shit. Super easy peasy. Director OLR approves and no one challenges now a days. I have see LE level peeps got put in TT and promoted for no reason. Btw, not jealous. I got promoted from 5 to 6 in 11 months. See easy peasy!
There is a calibrated tech assessment. I have seen tech assessors reject for shit that is not at all the SDEs fault. There are also audit requirements for promos that happen unusually fast. Your description of the process is ludicrously unrealistic.
Well that description is based on unrealistic claims managers put on promo docs and making it look like person is operating at next level. Easy to cheat tech assessment in lower levels. Audits are mostly for higher level promos
G terminal is L4 and there is not enough scope to have many 5s since they have so many failed projects
Amazon l6’s voted for google l4-l5 and google l5’s voted for Amazon l5-l6
But there aren't enough Google folks on here..
