I just started a new job two months ago, and I'm being asked to do an annual review?

   Some companies do yearly reviews on or near your work anniversary. Others do them all at the same time, once a year.

   It's a great way for the company to set out you goals and expectations fir 2025 and give you a road map to how you can add value and track your contribution so you can manage your career growth and earn more (whether that's raises or bonuses or both).

   IMHO yes that is far too soon but if they are asking you to participate sit down with your manager and or HR or both and ask how they will do this given your short tenure. There is a slight advantage for this coming so fast because it will at least let you know if you are on the right path for success there and also how they will do these things going forward. If you find the process is bad then think about how you will exceed expectations if you plan on getting ahead there. Knowledge is power, use it to help your progress there to advance as you need to.

   Most companies want to make sure everyone is on even footing come the new year. Annual reviews also refine your goals for next year.

   Many companies do all annual reviews at the same time each year. I'm sure they want to just get you on the same schedule as everyone else. I would use this as an opportunity to ask questions, and define expectations so you and your manager are on the same page and there are no surprises.

   I’ve had this happen a couple of times - but because I was so new, the self-evaluation part was basically “I’m working on learning every facet of the position” and “working on forging relationships across the organization,” things like that. My managers knew that would be the case and provided feedback accordingly.

   It felt weird, but it just happened to be the timing of the review process, and everyone has to participate.

   I don't think this is abnormal. It's just when the review cycle is fir the company.
