Nope. Total waste of time. That said, if no one wants to staff you and your utilization is 34% your review isn’t going to go well. But - no one in the review room will be discussing your utilization number.

No targets my friend. HUGE perk and greatly changes the way you go to market, are staffed/utilized, and isn’t an issue for ratings

Seriously?

But they do have “up or out” so in place of “tap on the hand” you get “kicked in your ass" if you are not doing well !

Correct. If no one is asking to work with you your time is limited post your first year or so. Different for undergrads because they are cheap.

Op I don’t worry about taking PTO and am at Deloitte and know others who do the same

Nah dawg

Sounds pretty nice to me

We don’t have targets either

Naaaaa
