Google has a salary band for each role that they are very careful to maintain. If you're getting promotions then you're also getting substantial raises. The trick is that those promotions are very (very) hard to come by and require some skills beyond coding as well as luck to be on a project that people care about.

Out of interest what sort of competition was there back when I worked for British Telecom they only had promotion (boards) every 18 months and had around 550/600 apply for less than 20 roles and that was for MPG 1 to MPG 2.

MPG1 is the entry level grade BTW
