Think about it, for PSG 25 and below, we are talking thousands of jobs “selected” in a handful of days. The logistics are impossible. Which leads me to believe that roles must already be mentally pre-filled by job owners and the “selection” meetings are a formality. I’ve asked a few 26+ how this would work and none could tell me. Anyone here have insight? Especially valuable if you have been part of the selection meetings in Wave 1 and can tell us how it will work for Wave 2? Thanks!

Make sure if you put relocation: yes, that you are prepared. They want give you options just place you and give you a start date. No negotiations.
@ab someone is upset they were left standing
@c1 thank you HR for the smoke screen
Your Selection Rep will rank you based on 2 categories: “We Lead” and “Deliver Results”. The Job Owner will rank you on the 2 sets of Technical criteria on the job you applied for. The Job Owner may reach out to your current Supervisor for input.
From there, a shortlist will be created based on the highest ranking applicants.
This short list will then be taken to the selection meeting. From there, the selections will be handled from the highest PSG’s to the lowest, and the jobs within a specific PSG will be selected in order of importance.
Talent cards are a joke. They won’t be used. If you know your selection rep you have a chance. If you don’t then I suggest updating LinkedIn.
@ab This is perfect- thank you
They will make selections fast. The job owner will make a short list of people based on who applies, and then work with the selection rep and HR to make a final decision. They already have an idea of who they think will be a good fit but it all depends on who applies where and how the job owners and selection reps can fit it all together. Your selection rep might not be your PDR and you might not know them. Your talent card will get pulled soon and that will be what they see about you so update it now—you can’t contact the job owner for these layoffs—but you can update your job card again after you see what jobs get posted so you can tailor it a bit but try and get a good talent card going before that. You likely won’t see an org chart until after you see jobs and apply because round 1 never saw the org chart. Good luck with whatever decisions you make.
I wrote this comment under another recent post, but I would like to use as a reply for this post as well.
It is all rigged.
It is a cult, where they select and appoint ONLY cult members, with some “poor cult servant” to be exploited until the little Indian boy in Bangalore to replace them has been trained.
Last May my manager informed our team (before the application period was even open !) that he was going go be demoted because his own manager was also going to be demoted into his position, a true domino effect of pinche pendejos.
It is all a big fakin farce, do not waste time with talent cards, nor with the most awkward introductions and "catch up" messages to hiring managers, nor with strategy calls with your useless rep, nor with your "buddy" that you hope will tell his manager that you are a smart engineer.
None of this matters, and you will just be wasting precious time that you should rather invest in polishing your resume and start applying externally IMMEDIATELY.
What a faaking disgrace, this company is the biggest disappointment of my whole life.
