Do you feel like your mid year performance review was useful? Or more of a check the box activity?

I mean, I am sure some employers use annual or semi annual performance reviews to provide their employees with valuable feedback and advice. However, my employer does not seem to believe that performance reviews are all that important. We can go well over a year before my manager even thinks about performance reviews. And then he only does them because someone reminds them they are due. And yes, he just checks off boxes and rushes through the reviews.

Same here … we do them every 6 months but it’s like a 20 minute convo and my manager writes 3-4 sentences for HR. The only thing it’s good for is bringing up promotions or raises

I think it's useful just because it leads to a conversation about my work. And any time I can remind my manager that I exist and things are going pretty well is fine by me. I tend to think some of it is perfunctory, but yeah, having the meeting is useful.

It is good to remind of this task but it would not mean anything to the year-end performance rating tho.

Check box activity

I consider it more as a check the box activity. It takes more than a couple paragraphs to get a promotion

Yep agreed

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
