No, Google’s reputation is a place where people go when they want a cushy lifestyle. Look for bizops roles, most don’t require harder technical skills

There isn’t an up or out culture but large stock grants and raises for getting promoted strongly incentivize performance.

You can perform average year after year and keep your job but you’ll want to keep your performance up to keep with the rising cost of living, and with your peers. I’m not sure raises for average performers is above the growth rate (pre pandemic) of cost of living in Silicon Valley

Also if you do not get promoted within 4 years, your total compensation might fall below when you started since your stock options would have all vested by then.

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).
