> The mandatory 3 year "derisking" period sounds asinine I don't have too much sympathy for the OP on stackoverflow, but I do think 3 years in a company of 5000+ people is not that long to wait to reach a senior position. It's not just about tech skills, at that level it is personality too. It's pretty important at senior levels that people are not just going to up and leave on a whim, so to my mind a 3 year type period is quite a reasonable test of whether they are long term suitable in the company.
