Alright, I did some quick research and it seems that they do sometimes pay full first year of sign-on bonus, which you need to repay (prorated). I didn’t see that that during my time at Amazon.

No, the sign-on bonus is prorated monthly and you don’t pay back what you got. However, you might need to pay back part of relocation money, if you leave before two years mark.
