If you get a couple mixed reviews you can lose up to 50% of your bonus, even if you bill high numbers. It's a crazy process, and the committee that sets your bonus has your fellow associates on it. Very orwellian

They will also dock your bonus up to 50% for missing >3 of the weekly time entry deadlines or >1 monthly time entry deadline.

1900 for bonus eligibility, and the firm has above market bonuses for both hours billed and quality of reviews. Previous memos are on above the law if you want a sense of median and top bonus by class year.

A5, that median is for corporate from what I have seen in folks who have been promoted in the last 7 years. Specialist groups probably pull down the median a tad.

Pro bono is credited 1:1 with billables and count toward bonus eligibility.
