What is the bonus at amazon. I see it sometimes but no idea what it means? I thought amazon is only about base, signing bonus, and RSUs.

You have a comp target, say it's $250k. Amazon will then allocate base plus RSU to get you to 250k. Say your base is 150k, then you need 100k RSU to get to your target.
But in the first year instead of getting RSU that immediately vest you will get the 100k mostly as cash bonus, and in the second year it'll be a split.
So basically a large part of your "RSU" in the first two years is cash but it's going always add up that base+rsu+bonus=250k. Cash bonus at Amazon is really a bridge until your RSU start vesting.
