I have a 2 year cliff (which I would hit 2 June 2016) on 4 year vest. I would not recommend this to anyone on either side of any transaction.

I've never seen a 2 year cliff. Can you say what company?

Not standard at the company. Unique as part of acquisition.

Got it thanks. There are all sorts of nonstandard things that happen after acquisitions. Too hard to capture those here.

1/2/3/4 is much more common in acquisitions than it is anywhere else, so maybe the dystopia that is these kind of deals will become the norm for regular hiring.
