At Google you are expected to exceed expectations.
But seriously, you are evaluated against the role description (software eng? product mgmt?) and your level. If you exceed expectations consistently over several review cycles, you are encouraged to apply for a promotion.
The goal is to get you promoted into a role and level where you can consistently meet expectations.

- joshuamorton 8y agoSpecifically the opposite. The peter principle implies you'll make it to a point where you flounder and can't manage. This is the opposite: You make it to a position where you do well, but aren't spectacular (compared to your peers in the same position). Roles/levels are calibrated so that expectations at L+1 are generally speaking aligned with strong performance at L.
