Does luck play a big part in BB IBD analyst performance review?

I am joining a BB IBD FT analyst class with prior work experience. In my current employer, luck plays a big part of performance review process, as in if you're sourced in a smaller client with better senior exposure, or if you're lucky enough to have to cover for a senior because s/he was sick, you're more likely to get a better rating. People who are sourced on a big client and play a more junior role, will more likely to get mid-tier rating even if they do everything on point. This is simply because no matter how well you do on your daily tasks, it just won't stand out on paper when you're compared with other 100+ of your peers.

I was wondering how BB IBD performance review process works and how likely luck plays a big part in the process.

Thanks!
