Curious to know what the tenure is like for promo to L5 at Google from L4 ?

Heard it's very hard and more tenure based aka 3 years.

      OP
      Yes CME gang and keep chilling. Why is promo not given based on tenure. Sucks to be in Google and yet have to grind for it.

      Very difficult promos inspite having tribal knowledge sucks

      Look at Facebook and Uber. Both promote between 2-2.5 years because they have a strict tenure.

      SEE Strongly Exceeds Expectation
      CME Constantly Meets Expectation
      There was nothing like MA but things may have chaned.
      It's all part of calibration. I agree getting 3 SEE is doable but difficult. You need minimum 2 SEE and better if recent. Also L4 to L5 ideally happens unless you are bad.

      OP
      How can L4 to L5 happen if you are just decent ?

      Do managers hand out SEE for the sake of promoting people ?

      Google enforces a curve at every level within an org so can people just get promoted for the sake of it ?

      SEE is given only to top performers (20-25%) so how can rest of the L4s get promoted ?

    Op you can’t get a promo with just MA ratings. You need at least 2 SEE before a promo
