Are reviews important? If you know you're performing (based on observations of team members), is it even worthwhile to do one or ask for one? Is it also the time to ask about promotion goals & comp?

Reviews have always been pointless in our world. What matters is kicking ass on a project or account and then acting like a massive prick until you get a raise/promotion or leave for both

I had no idea that people had to ask for reviews. Ours is automated by HR on a yearly basis. How else do you quantify your growth in an official manner?

I quantify it by the percent raise I get each year/request I put in.

If it's strictly financial, then I'm not sure an additional (outside of an annual) review would be that beneficial. But if you're trying to hit milestones towards a title bump then, yes, definitely ask for a check-in to make sure you're still on the trajectory.

I've never gotten a review that was constructive in any way, but I'm pretty awesome so it's understandable.

Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
