How does performance evaluation work at FB and Google?

We have it "manager controls all" philosophy for most mid range/low range candidates. For top tier, there is enough evidence of delivery and impact so managers are little cautious.
I am reading a lot of posts from Facebookers about WLB and PIP. Is it as aggressive as amazon? Heck, now I think Amazon is much better. A couple or two similar posts from Googlers who said WLB is team dependent and benefits are not what they used to be.
Given these anecdotes -
1) how true is it?
2) how true is TC data?

I’ve been at these calibrations, pretty fair.
Also saw cases of the team writing bad feedback for the manager and manager disappearing.
PIP is for bottom performers, like everywhere. FB is pretty good at weeding out free riders.
WLB differs from team to team.
TC is tru.
If you also can’t talk well, you have a bigger problem that needs addressing, because being a good engineer is more than just coding.
