    Yup. It comes in the form of additional stock RSU's that also vest usually 2~4 years. It sucks major balls. I haven't heard of anyone getting straight cash bonuses... But maybe that's just my team.

      You're right. I have never heard of anyone getting cash bonuses. All RSU based. However, not all RSUs vest in 2+ years. Sometimes you get stock that vests in the same year to match your target comp. You probably don't see that happen very often because our stock has been rising every year.

    So if you get promotion or annual bonus and they grant you RSU, they will vest after 2 years from the days its granted not in first year

      Nope. If you get promoted, your base will go up until you hit a cap (~165k). In addition, your RSUs can vest any time in order to match your total comp.

    How is the vesting period for that bonus RSUs? Do they start vesting immediately or do they need extra cliff time?
