       Ask HN: How does performance appraisals happen in your
       organisation?
        
       What's the process like? Is it one time effort at the end of the
       year or there are some continuous efforts made throughout the year.
       Also, please mention if some tools are used for the same.  And
       lastly, are your satisfied with the process?
