Oh wow potential 2x a year to be promoted? Ours is once a year
We usually have promotions once a year
We have a once a year scenario, there's an evaluation and you get to go on about all the great stuff you've done and the progress you've made. And if they buy it, you get an extra crust of bread tossed in your direction. Seriously, once a year seems okay to me, it's enough time to show that you've progressed or grown in the position or however one chooses to spin it.
Same here
Used to be once a year during year end evaluations. They recently updated it to twice a year, year end and mid year evaluations. My department is small and due to the nature of our work we aren't as productive money wise for the company so we don't get as much money to give people promotions though.
My company does them randomly for the most part but a lot coincide with annual bonus
We have the same, you can submit prior to a mid year review or prior to year end. I’ve always found it strange that it’s BEFORE a performance review cycle not after based on results. Usually April time frame or September
You’re lucky to get promoted here. In our lab your first promotion usually isn’t until 5 years in, I’m getting that promotion 3 years into working at the company. We have yearly standard raises but outside of that there’s not a ton of upward momentum.
