Are analysts ranked?

I know that analysts are separated into "tiers" or "buckets" for bonus purposes, but are analysts actually ranked? Does each group (or even bank for that matter) have a "top-ranked analyst"? I know that some of the posts about PE recruiting talk about how they take the top-ranked analysts, but is there a way to actually tell how you stack up besides what kind of bonus you get?
