# General Timeline
The review process happens twice a year, every 6 months.
It takes place over several weeks and requires thorough preparation from managers and team members.
The HR team is responsible for kicking this off → they will send a general Slack message or email to notify the review process is starting.
WARNING
💡 It’s better not to wait 6 months! It is strongly recommended managers and ICs do regular follow-ups on objectives, either individually or together. A good practice is to follow up on tasks and projects every 2 months. Each time you see improvements, or when you identify areas where support is needed → write it down!

👉 When managers send an invitation → it’s better to schedule 1.5 to 2 hours.
👉 Salary changes are applied at the end of the month after the reviews.
