What should be the criteria for promotion: Performance or Experience?

In a recent news,Infosys has declared that even though an employee is only one year old in the organisation, but still if he can perform better than his team lead and senior colleagues, he will get promotion before they get. At the time of global slowdown, Infosys had launched iRace program under which the company's staff are required to wait longer for their promotions so that only the professionals with proven managerial skills can lead project teams.
So what do you think?? what should be the criteria of the candidate- Performance or Experience??

  1. i believe experience should be the only qualifying criteria for a promotion.A person can perform well in one task or in achieving a terget,but this alone cant be the only deciding factor of ,how he/she will perform in future.
