- fnfjfk 3y agoYes, the theory is that IC3/4 cost more than they produce. That being said it's really not that hard to advance at these junior levels, very little to do with politics and very much to do with becoming a competent and independently-productive engineer.

- loeg 3y agoI would describe it as IC3/4s are more of a job training program for IC5, which they actually want.

- toast0 3y agoYes. I don't know how it works at other places, but at FB, according to the manager training I went through, after you were in a 'non-terminal' position beyond the time limit, they would evaluate you according to the rubric for the next level up. Presumably, you would get bad reviews because you weren't doing the things for that level (it wasn't clear to me if you would be told that you were going to be evaluated at that level), and then you'd get on a 'performance improvement plan' and then likely terminated. Thankfully, I wasn't a manager for long, and didn't have to see that happen.
- ShamelessC 3y agoYet another reason to never work there.
- scruple 3y agoyeah, for sure, but it's not just Google.
- loeg 3y agoFacebook explicitly does, yes.
