Alibaba does not have performance appraisals every month. Alibaba's performance appraisal cycle varies according to different teams and positions. For example, the sales team has a more intensive appraisal cycle, which may be conducted once a month; the operations team may be appraised once a quarter; and the management team may conduct performance rankings once a year. The specific appraisal content and standards will also vary depending on the position and responsibilities. Therefore, although Alibaba has a regular performance appraisal system, performance appraisals are not conducted every month.
