The screeps community spent alot of time on this and we got nowhere. Unfortunately the Screeps dev team is Russian based, so they declined to provide helps with their data. The journalist contacted players who were active in 2017 and earlie

Depending on the company, but yes if the company is not growing, the incentive would be to discourage promotion. At that point, if it is a good company, they would know it and will prioritize a different kind of employees.
