Sometimes you can get fired/hired over competitive hiring process. Like SWE who have worked there that fail to gain a level almost every other year tend to slant toward the let go phase so Amazon can pick up a shiney new employee in place. This was something Microsoft used to do long ago. I don't agree with this model unless there are traits to the employee that are making work life for everyone harder.
