Wasn't too long ago Facebook was in the news for giving new hires $1m in stock as signon bonus.

I heard hundreds of long time employees were newly minted millionaires at IPO, but from what I heard from my peers, new grads don't get anything close to $1m. In fact, everyone I knew with an offer at Facebook 2012/2013 declined it to work elsewhere.

I just don't believe this is post-IPO, or for non-managers.
