What does the PIP consist of? What objectives and how does one actually pass a PIP?

PIP hurdles and passing depend on your supervisor.
If your supervisor intentionally PIPd you for personal reasons, you have no chance.
If your supervisor has been instructed to exit you from the company, you have no chance.
If you get a new sympathetic supervisor that is willing to help, then the hurdles are systematic and manageable.
I wish hr would post information about the true working of the pip. I used to know several in hr but they all got fired or left because of the bs. One hr rep told me exxon was evil and she did not like doing their bidding. She quit and said she could not ruin employees lives anymore.
Certain areas will be identified for improvement. A plan will be created that will be agreed by pipee. The plan is very specific in detail about what tasks need to be completed and the metrics for completion. Be careful what you agree to and make sure it is doable in the 3 month time frame. Once the 3 months us over the boss checks the list and writes up a summary. It can be good as in all tasks completed or bad as in one or more not completed. You should know how you are doing by the bi weekly meeting. You will be presented the outcome and sign the document. You will told if you passed or failed. Hr will review and if you failed you will sign that you acknowledge the findings and agree. It us hard to fight this because it is writing and you the employee agreed to it. Only if you have evidence that you actually completed all tasks can you win. So if you pass things go back to near normal but with the loss of career growth. If you fail you will be out by November. Read the separation documents as there are some interesting clauses in it. I have seen employees pass or fail. It is about 60 % pass 40% fail by my count. I saw one employee who pi---d off his supervisor so much that he was put on an impossible pip plan. I have nre s not really try and pass dpc. You get a feeling if exxon wants to keep you during the piping.
