I don't know how your employers conduct their annual reviews but IMHO
they should be a two-way process. You have a right to respond their
criticisms and offers.
Assuming that you have hit or exceeded your targets (set in last year's
annual review), they offer a 5% pay rise; don't accept it. Instead
counter-offer with a request for 15%. This, of course, will be rejected
- but now you have started a bargaining process. Your target is 10% or
7.5% with additional perks. BTW don't forget to get the agreement in
writing before you leave the room ;-)
