It seems odd to me why bonuses are tied to the performance of the company rather than the employee's performance.

Well 1) no money to pay the bonuses out of if not 2) supposedly it's incentivizing you to act in the company's interests.

Its usually both. So you get into the great situation where you did great but the firm did poorly, so you get a doughnut. As you move up the ranks, the process becomes less murky.
