Which companies besides Google and Facebook give good stock refreshers every year? Think around 50k for new grad, 80k for L4 and 120k for L5 types. How are Uber, LinkedIn, Apple, VMware, Nutanix, Pinterest, Yelp etc like? TC 300k
I’m joining Dropbox and it’s 33% refreshers of average grant across your level for expected performance.
Apple might be the only company in this league.
Apple is definitely among Google and Facebook. It's only slightly lesser iirc. I hear LinkedIn and Uber are kick-ass too, in terms of refreshers. Definitely not on the list are Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce etc.
LinkedIn doesn’t give refreshers to meets. It’s not as rare as salesforce or MS but still stingy overall. Heard this from a friend over there
Aah that sucks. Microsoft gives refreshers to median (80 score on 200. Where 100 is meets). Anything below that you get no refreshers but the amount of refreshers is a joke though
Airbnb gives the best refreshers right now
Mind listing targets of different levels?
Refresh here is ~25-50% of your initial grant perf based. For L4 thats 90-180k. For L5 that's 200-400k although I have seen L5 initial grants for 1M. Not sure about L6. For L3 refresh should be 50-100k.
Do these refreshers vest immediately generally ?
Are you crazy?! 4 year vest, only that way the golden handcuffs can be effective
I’m not making this up...check with your tier1 friends
Uber is 50k for L4
Pinterest gives the similar refresher
Question should be which company doesn’t. And answer is simple: Microsoft
And Amazon
And oracle
