Yep. I haven't worked there but got an offer from them and work with a number of ex-amzn people. I forget the exact numbers but it was something like ~20% in total vest over the first two years and then something like 40% a year in years three and four. It's heavily back-loaded and, what a surprise, they have a lot of attrition in the first two years of every cohort. There is a bonus to offset this in the first couple of years, to be fair, but iirc there's a clawback clause on that as well as relo. Everything I've heard and seen about their work culture makes them seem like the 21st century wal-mart.

SDE1 gets a lump sum with prorated clawback, SDE2 and up gets monthly installments and no clawback. The year 1 signing bonus is slightly larger than the year 2 signing bonus. The larger RSU vest in year 2 more than makes up for this. With this structure target total comp rises 5-20% per year. Base salary is capped at $160k in most locations, $180k in ultra-high COL areas like San Francisco and New York City. Source: I work at Amazon
