I had a sales job once where there was a formal monthly numbers review and then a full performance evaluation every 3 months.

Maybe there is a difference between a "Performance Review" and a 
"Performance Report".

That is, "Performance Review" could equate to what the US military calls 
"Performance Counseling".    The US Army has quarterly counseling and annual 
reports.  The US Air Force has semi-annual counseling and annual reports. 
These are usually considered a good thing, as they give the employee a 
chance to change behavior or reinforces their current behavior at a much 
more frequent basis than the annual report.  Frequent communications between 
an employee and employer is a good thing.

If, however, by "Performance Review" they mean the "Official" report, then I 
would agree that is excessive.
