Not at a couple of the companies I have worked for. Small teams were still expected to have average ratings that were close to the company-wide average.

Same here. You can’t have a team with only “outstanding” score. You have to fit your team into the standard distribution. Even if one team is much better than the other, their average still has to be the same.

Unless you then proceed to rank the teams and use a team modifier, that's pretty irrational.
