How bad is the firing cycle at PwC? Do new associates with albeit low utilization have anything to worry about?

Year 1 is typically a grace period for utilization as long as it's not superrr low and performance is good since staffing can be fairly out of your control when you start. The next six months will be important to start a good utilization trend now that you probably have begun to get a good network established. My first year the practice was slow, so I did a lot of internal work to make up for lack of utilization and I got a good rating.

Does PwC have strict internal practice development requirements as well?

Well I got laid off today and I'm a first year. Apparently my utilization and performance weren't good which is bull shit bc they were perfectly fine for a first year in a slow market. Thought I was safe since I made initiatives to participate in a ton of extracurricular sand internal initiatives both during projects and on the bench, but apparently they didn't care

What do you consider "good for a first year?"

70% utilization (bc of training and 1 month on the bench), snapshots that showed progression during the project and partially at next level marks with a couple performance differentiators. I know it wasnt stellar/not trying to sound like I deserved a 2 or a 1, but for a first year I was doing everything I could to get staffed and show initiative at everything. Definitely a 3 with very clear areas for self improvement. I think what hurt me the most was the isolated market honestly
