For us, we have a TL meeting where the team leads and a few ETL's go down the list of team members A-Z and give them an overall score (5, 4, 3, 2, 1... or O, EX, E, IE, U) which then gets submitted by the ETL's. Then they take it from there and bump TM's down when we're inevitably over our budget for raises.. it usually results in new team members getting a lower score than they deserve because they don't have seniority (even though target doesn't use seniority.....go figure)
