Performance Appraisal Stats
We have just revealed, at bayt.com, a trend towards inadequate and irrelevant performance appraisals in the region’s workplaces, following a series of polls carried out on employees across the Middle East. Interestingly, despite 71% of all workers receiving either a quarterly, half-yearly or yearly performance appraisal; 50% stated that they had no real feedback on how they were doing, while 14% stated they had had an informal meeting with their boss, but ‘that was it’.

This depends on the company, govt. entity.
In ministries, it used to be "Excellent" for all Qataris, and non-Qataris are not rated at all (this will probably change with the new unified government law).
Large companies take this seriously and do at least yearly face-to-face meetings to discuss the appraisal.
Small companies do nothing.
