Promotion process at Google and Meta (FB)

Dec 12, 2021 8 Comments

Can some people who have worked at either Google or FB describe the promotion process especially at L6? I am considering these two companies to switch over.

Edit: I would like to know both from L5 to L6 and from L6 to L7.

  • 5 to 6 is basically contributing to 3-4+ projects in the org and working with many XFN teams while leading your own team(s).

    6 to 7 I don't know tbh .. must be working with directors and other E7-8 and lots of politics and XFN

  • OP
    In Meta does the engineer himself have to create their promo presentation or does the manager handle it as in MSFT? I I heard that in Google you need to create your promo docs/presentation by yourself.

  • From 6 to 7? It's going to be hugely team dependent and since vast majority of people don't make it to 7 most cases are going to be pretty different and no fast and quick rules. Anecdotally in the past couple years I've heard deals being made with high performing 6s to get them to work on leadership pet projects that people think are stupid.
