No annual refresher in Google offer letter

Got an offer letter from Google. It doesn't mention annual stock refreshers anywhere (mentions salary, bonus target, equity comp etc). Is this normal?

Yes. Annual refresher depends on performance and is not guaranteed

It usually isn't

So do you have to start in December to get a 2018 refresher ?

You don't normally get much a refresher till one year cliff. Whole point of refresher is to not leave Google by year 3.

To get refresher at the end 2019, not 2018

Stocks have no advertised target like cash bonus does.
