PIP is inevitable and some also make a bell curve mandatory. Let’s find out the stress levels in each company and make a resource for others. 1980s General Electric 10% mandatory URA The legendary inventor of mandatory URA Amazon 40% Focus (hidden) Dev Plan? 20% Pivot (PIP) 6% mandatory URA (decided every year) Meta 15% PIP Adobe 12.5% PIP Google 16% Support Quota (Hidden like Focus in Amazon) 8% PIP (6% M 2% NI) No mandatory URA NVIDIA 7.5% PIP Salesforce 5% PIP Microsoft No PIP Quotas or mandatory URA at all, manual process by manager Terminal level is L63 otherwise need one level every 3 years. Getting fired at MS seems difficult (It is the new Google?). Qualcomm Same as Microsoft Accenture Same as Microsoft Can someone fill others? OpenAI Uber Netflix LinkedIn Apple AMD Intel Oracle TCS Infosys Please note that PIP is not a definite indicator of safety as companies without mandatory PIP also makeup for that by layoffs in bulk periodically. #tech #PIP #URA
Salesforce has started implementing a bell curve this year for performance reviews. AFAK, around 5% PIP per year
How bad is the pip quota at Salesforce; is it like Amazon where you work 50h/ week to not have a target on your back.
If you complete your tasks, then mostly no pip. But the culture is bad these days. My manager said he was told to be strict with engineers. They shouted at me for taking a few hours to resolve one P3 issue during oncall. No more soft talk from the manager unless you are a top performer. Salesforce culture used to be good before
Nvidia as I am in PIP it's 5 - 10% per year
Adobe PIPs annually around 5%+ in good orgs and 10%+ in toxic orgs.
Not this year.

No PIP process at Netflix, and no mandated firing percents.
Since when? Netflix is known for its cut throat culture and folks being forced out. Is that team dependent?
Since always.
It’s not forced . There is fairly high bar so if you are not cutting it you will be fired .there is no pip
Atlassian, 5-10% per org, not sure about the numbers but yes there is a quota
Uber 5-7%
I like your post. Going to follow it.
