Working For Chase US - Anonymous employee Chase Employee Review

They use the forced distribution system for performance reviews which places a select number of team members in the groups of exceeds, meets and needs improvement based on ranking within the team even if their performance doesn't warrant it. This means some high performers on teams flush with other exceptional team members could be bumped to a meets expectations or even a needs improvement depending on how strong the team is. At the same time, a low performer could be bumped as high as an exceeds if they are on a team of low performers. This poor system creates situations where poor performers can be rewarded and high performers passed over.
