How exactly does the new promotion cycle work at PwC ? The recruiters all mentioned that employees get promoted twice a year instead of once. Is it that simple? If all goes well does this mean I could be an A3 after one year? Or are there other sub levels within each level? Thanks!

It just means that we only do promotions twice a year vs once a year. I don't think anyone gets promoted every cycle. It was introduced so that if someone was deemed not ready, that they'd have another shot at it in 6 months.

How is that different from the early mid year promos that they used to do? Or I’d it just more formalized/accessible now?

A1 vs A3 isn’t a real promotion. That’s going to take effect every July to figure out your pay band in the cohort.

But as noted by others - promo to senior would have a chance to come in January or July.

Ohhh I understand now. Thanks a lot
