On-Cycle Performance Reviews are reviews that happen bi-annually, in 6-month cycles. There are two types of On-Cycle Performance Reviews:
EOY Performance Reviews - EOY Performance Reviews take place in January. The outcomes of these reviews dictate promotions, raises, and performance bonuses.
Mid-Year Performance Reviews - Mid-Year Performance Reviews happen in July. In these reviews, managers and direct reports re-align on metrics, KPIs, goals, etc. to set expectations for any raises, promotions, or performance bonuses that might come at EOY Performance Reviews.
