Which ones do and don't? Because all of the ones I've heard of have pretty loose ones compared to my organization.

And yes, Amazon doesn't cheap out on real estate because we own so much of it. It's honestly remarkable how it's done. But I was under the impression everyone knows they pay less.

Do you not realize how much AMZN appreciated over the last 5 or 10 years compared to FB or GOOG? Many Amazon engineers came out way ahead financially compared to their FANG peers.

FB and GOOG provide more stock and more refreshers. I think its hard to say AMZN engineers have come out ahead consistently.

I only have about ~40 stocks up from about 35 before the refresh cycle (unvested) and that's unlikely to go up if I get promoted (if you have too many they don't give you more). Googler and FB refresher values are significantly higher.
