It is especially horrible for new Amazon employee because of their tiered stock vests. You might have left your great job because Amazon offered you half million signing bonus but you won't last long enough to get even 30% of that.

- __derek__ 3y agoThat's not how Amazon's comp works. The sign-on bonus is prorated over the first two years to fill in the "gap" before hitting the normal RSU vesting cadence. Someone hired one year ago leaving today would "only" vest 5% of their RSUs, but they would have received ~35% of their initial RSU value in cash over the last 12 months. Someone hitting their second anniversary would "only" vest another 15% of their RSUs, but they would have received another ~25% of their initial RSU value in cash over the last 12 months.
