My manager technically has a "one on one" (30 mins) meeting every week with me. But the type/purpose of this meeting alternates.

One week its an "Alignment" meeting between me and my manager. This is a time where the manager can talk to me about my current tasks and if I need any assistance from him. We also go over our yearly goals on a regular basis here, just so we can make sure that I am on the right track.

The next week we have our 1:1 meeting. These are lead by me and gives me dedicated time to discuss anything I would like.

What I described above is the only structure to the meetings. If manager doesn't have much to discuss in our alignment meetings he opens the floor for any 1:1 type of discussion and on the flip side, if I wanted to talk about my current blockers during my 1:1 meeting that is also fine.

So to answer your question, our 1:1 are biweekly.
