Heh, so, if I googled your company before interview, and able to quote marketing sentences about how this is the "Great people. Great challenges. Great opportunities. Groundbreaking technology." etc., only then I can expect a promotion in a future years?

Not necessarily, but if the interviewer can tell that you didn't google the company, it's unlikely that you'll be the type of person who gets promoted?
