I have bad news for you, then: Facebook, which you laud as being impact driven, does exactly this. They call them "calibrations" but I've been in them and I can assure you that they're committees with all that implies.

Oh they certainly still do have some bureaucracy, but you will never see an L3 at Google being promoted to L5 in 1 year whereas that is a (very rare) possibility at FB.

I specifically know a person who was double promoted from 3 to 5 in their second full cycle at Google. Just over one year.
