Will be joining google and looking to establish my start date. Wanted to see if it matters if I start in July vs August.
1. Will I be eligible for 2021 performance review and raise?
2. When are the review dates and do promotions typically happen around these times?
3. When are refreshers awarded? If I’m vesting the original rsu every quarter, will my refreshers go at the same vesting schedule

    Bonus has no cut off. It’s prorated for the time you’ve spent.
    Equity refreshers are available only if you join in December the prior year. So if you join in 2021, you’ll be eligible for refreshers on in 2022 cycle. The only exception if you are rated EE+ and managers apply discretion.
    Perf cycle is twice a year. Once in Q1 end and the other in Q3. Raises and bonus happens once a year and are effective from 1st Jan of next year. Promos happen twice a year and are effective either from 1st May or 1st November.

  • I heard that 1 October is cutoff for annual bonus consideration, and refreshers require 9+ months in previous year. But maybe some Googler can confirm that.
