That’s how it is at PwC. A pre roundtable discussion is held ahead of time within the practice to get partners up to speed. Then the larger peer group discussion is held where they go person by person and give a summary and recommended rating. Once they rate everyone on their own merit, they see where they are relative to the peer group and make sure the loose %’s at each level are ok. If there are too many 1’s, there’s more discussion to see if they should all remain at 1
EY OP- there are no roundtable discussions anymore-LEAD did away with them.
Yeah, pretty much.
It depends on the region and the practice. Some of the more efficient ones I’ve been a part of required the counselor to submit the suggested rating ahead of time. Then, they would start with everyone who was suggested to be a 5 and discuss them. Some of those people would be bumped down to a 4. Then, they would discuss all the people who were suggested to be a 4 and some of those would be bumped down to a 3. For the 3s, they’d basically ask if any of the people had specific areas they needed to work on, but if not, then no major discussions were had since a 3 was considered to be doing what was expected. If there were any 2s, they’d discuss what to do with them.
Other round tables had a counselor present their counselee to the round table committee and the committee members would ask questions. Then, once all the proposed ratings are suggested, they’d go through the horse trading process to fit within the required curve.
I have no idea how this will work now with LEAD and snapshots.
