Promotion Principles
We strive for EscrowTab to be a great place for all
engineers to grow and be recognized for that growth. The above
sections describes expectations for engineers at each of our career
levels, and this section describes the principles and guidelines for
transitions between those levels.
More important than any document
is that you and your manager have regular, active conversations
about your short- and long-term career growth and development.
Promotion principles
-
No checkbox game: There is no set of checkboxes that you can check off to
guarantee a promotion. Promotions are a recognition of the
talent development that has enabled you to consistently deliver
results at the next level over a sustained period of time.
-
Evidence, not faith: Promotions are a recognition of demonstrated, sustained
impact at the next level. We don’t promote someone because we
hope they can handle it.
-
Strengths, weaknesses, and performing “at a level”: To be performing “at
a level” means that, most of the time, you are delivering
results at that level (the “what”)
with the talent mastery, execution, culture, and values expected
of that level (the “how”).
We recognize and embrace that everyone has technical and
non-technical strengths and weaknesses, which affect our ability
to deliver results and which we continually work to
improve (mastering
your craft never ends!). As you move up the levels, it becomes
increasingly difficult to deliver that level of results while
having significant technical or non-technical weaknesses,
though.
