I really don't like this kind of stuff.. I became part of a company(through acquisition) that would do the evaluation through a buddy/mentor. So you had to write your 3 goals of the next year, etc.. and your buddy would present them in an open meeting (all mentors were there). The first 'evaluation' i only wrote as my goal, to look for another job. My poor buddy didn't enjoy that, neither did my boss apparently. Yet still to this day i never spoke with that supposed to be boss...

How they would ever think evaluations hold any value when they are disconnected and open to everyone that's invited to the meeting is beyond me. I guess it was just basically so your buddy had to tell you you didn't get a raise and you couldn't even ask why not, because he wouldn't know.

It's what should happen, yes.
