Stop caring so much about evals. You get what you get and you live a happier life.
Utilization and snapshots are most important. Reinvest is up there. It could make your case for bump up but it wouldn't hold you back.
@D1 just curious bruh
It really depends on your staff level. At the Associate / Senior level, Partners only spent 5 minutes at most discussing you during the CRT. Your Utilization will be the primary data point followed by snapshots. Most practices say they value BD / reinvest work, but it doesn't really help at those junior levels.
Also, staff more than 20% below their utilization target automatically start at a 4 rating. Numbers drive your ratings. 🙄
Not sure of a threshold on the PwC side but I'm sure there is one - HR comes to the CRTs with staff ratings already prepared based in utilization, snapshots, etc.
Just sayin'
It's mostly about your impact on client and reinvest work, with a greater emphasis on the former unless your reinvest is essentially creating a whole new offering or perspective. Utilization does matter as a metric but it's not the end all be all.
I feel like partners don't really value reinvest work that highly (and I think they should). I've gotten the impression that it's all about your reputation and ability to perform... That usually translates to high utilization but as s&1 mentions it only matter so much
Previously evaluations mostly - this yeah there's more a focus on utilization for obvious reasons
Snapshots are king, especially in promo year.

@S3 I don't think that's true. I know a lot of people who have had low utilization and not be 4, myself included!
@P4, you start off as a 4 in the discussion. If you get pushed into a better rating, it's because someone in that room fought for you
I've never heard the start as a 4 thing. Is that a strategy& thing?
Also, it's not a requirement but I know that a lot of s& partners don't rely on snapshots and set up phone calls with 5+ people you have worked with to get more detailed feedback.
There is no rule that everyone starts at a 4. HR puts together recommendations but partners have final say. There is no bell curve or quota they have to stick to. Partners can give everyone a top tier bonus rating it will just mean everyone in the practice gets less.
P5 - Not a rule that everyone starts at a 4, in my practice, below 20% or more below utilization targets start off at a 4.
S3 what practice is that?
