It can happen to low performers or if overall utilization is super low, but this is not the norm. Wild guess is 5%, but i am not in HR.

Second this statement.

We are not an up-or-out firm and wouldn’t characterize as PIP factory, but we do have “norms for time in role,” and you’re liable to be PIP-ed if you’re not seen as progressing against the skills-for-tenure paradigm.

Best advice is, understand how your individual managers feel about your progress, work against their feedback diligently, move teams if your manager’s/principal’s expectations aren’t realistic or gel with you.

You have agency, but you have to use it.

Makes sense. I’m coming from a place where 15% were pipped every year due to forced distribution so 5% sounds balmy.
