For those of you (eng) who’ve been at Facebook / Google for more than a year, did you receive a stock refresh at your first year mark?
At Facebook everyone that is employed on December 31 is eligible for a refresher (prorated if you weren't here all year). At Google you're only guaranteed a refresher at the end of a year if you were employed at the start of the year (Jan 1 of the same year). There could be an exception if you were a top performer, but it's all up to the manager.
Google does not. Xoogler here
When did you switch?
What is the stock refresher amount? Is it a percentage of the initial stock grant? 10%? More?
For facebook everyone receives one around february - march
Any minimum tenure for new joiners? i.e. if you join less than X month, no refresh?
I don’t think so but it gets pro-rated so you don’t get much if you’ve only been there like 1 or 2 months
