Most places I've seen use a 4 year vesting schedule, andd 50% of the RSU's vest in the last two years. So you get maybe 10-15% of your RSU's year one, 20% more the next year, then the rest in the last two years. This forces people to stick with the company likely longer than they would normally would.

Your experience is a complete outlier. The only company that really does that is Amazon. All others in FAANG are 25% per year, paid either monthly or quarterly. Most have even removed the 1 year cliff, meaning you might be vesting stock 30 days in.

As others have pointed out, I don't know any company outside of Amazon that does this. Complete outlier IMO.

This is not common. I’ve only ever heard of Amazon doing this.

Everywhere else I’ve ever worked or had friends work it’s linear.

I attempted to do this, but Google returned all three (gradually more wordy) messages I attempted to email you.

Yikes—that's extremely weird! On what grounds did they do that?

It looks like there's an email address in your profile now, so I'll try sending a repost invite that way.
