Many people never make it to e6 and the progression can be slow for many.
The thing that fb does pretty well is that once you are considered to be ready - things happen very quickly. No committees. No irrelevant considerations (e.g. yoe), and no politics (especially in the cases that I was involved in or aware of).
If you're not ready for 6, though, you just wont make it go 6. It's not a question if pressuring your manager or negotiating. The performance cycles requirements are high and consistent which, amusingly, slows down promos in cases where the manager is not 100% sure you will meet expectations at the next level.
(And of course- there are exceptions to everything and you can probably hear a story about anything happening, but this has been my experience with quite a few cases)
The vice versa is also true I would think.
Essentially growth is better when you have a good track record. That's important for promos at higher levels. It doesn't matter if it's FB or g or amzn.
