Yes, AE has achieved all the numbers met all the expectations set by the Company. However, the Appraisal is calculated on Industry Benchmark rather than the performance.

Your company is basing an appraisal on some industry benchmark? And set by whom?

So you are being appraised on some random report?

Appraised on what? Appraised FOR what?

Are they using these reports to determine pay? Bonus? Level of effort? Metrics for your job you should be hitting?

I'm confused.

And SaaS is a delivery model not an industry.

duuuuude your killing us with these posts. please try to be a little more specific on what you are asking for.

base compensation should be on industry average and then if you get a raise in the future should be determined by your performance.

I don't get it...

How are you going to use a 3rd party benchmark to measure your performance?

Industry average. Unless you're at a Series A company and you're the only one who is killing it.

No, because each product and implementation is different. Moreover, target sector and company size. There are too many variables.
