At least at Apple, Amazon, and Google, most execs have been there 10+ years.
One of the challenges is people often think “where’s my growth going to be if my Senior Director/VP isn’t going anywhere for 5 years?”
And I honestly think that in any of them, neither mass hirings nor layoffs are initiated by CEOs. I'd bet it's rather "one person pushes through the idea of hiring a lot of people, a year after another person pushes the idea of laying them off".
