In my experience performance reviews don't accurately differentiate the high performers vs the low performers. No one gets below average unless you are really struggling. The only real currency is if PMs want you on their team or not.

Plenty of companies require someone to be rated below average. See "stack ranking" for example. Is it dumb? Probably. Is it common? Sadly yes.
