Ask HN: Skipped during raise season when you're new-ish to the job?

I'm curious what's common in other companies.

If your company does raises/bonuses once a year, but you're only 6 months into the job when raise season comes around, how common is it to get "skipped"? This would mean you wouldn't see a raise or bonus until 18 months into the job.

We would usually prorate (maybe not for raises but definitely for bonuses).
cursorial
Since graduating from University I've worked in four different jobs (graduated 2.5 years ago). Each spanning in length from 6 months - 1 year.

Every time raises/bonuses have come up, I haven't been given one.

My salary is 40% higher than it was when I left University though.

Finally found a role I actually want to stay in and see a future in as well now, so hopefully I'll see raises/bonuses come my way in the near future.
