How/When do you see your performance review at Microsoft?
I started last august. I hear people starting to talk about reviews. How do I see mine? Are some not out yet?
Reviews are in Aug through early Sep. Bonuses used to be in the Sep 15 paycheck. A current employee can confirm that. You will be part of the review process as you have to sign off on it.
Yep this is how it is. One of the September paychecks will be the bonus, reviews happen when you wrote and it's a back and forth with your manager on your review.
Review discussions are happening now, you should have completed your connect in May. Your manager is having discussions now or has already wrapped them up, and the discussion has started going up the levels. In July the numbers will be locked, and if you have a good manager you should get the results back from mid to end of August. In September you should get your bonus and the first stocks should start vesting on the next vest cycle (Dec I believe)
I was told by the recruiter that reviews are happening in September
