Your sign on bonus is paid monthly over two years. The first year you get paid more of it since you only get 5% of your RSUs, the second year you get paid less since you get 15% of your stock vest.

There is no clawback - I checked my paperwork. I think one of my friends told me that he did get part of his bonus when he was first hired. In that case there would probably be a clawback.

When I was hired as an SDE I in 2014 the first year of the sign on bonus was paid upfront, so there was a clawback.

A friend hired as an SDE II at the same time had a higher sign on bonus, not paid as a lump sum, so no clawback.
