And they want people off the vesting ramp as early as possible.

Amazon does 5-15-40-40

I’ve… never heard of such a vesting schedule. Doesn’t everyone else pretty much do 25%/year ?

Amazon is super stressful and I guess a lot of people quit the first few years. Maybe the 40% is to motivate them to stay for more hellish years.

I'm very happy not to work at Amazon.

Oh I get why they do it. I’m just surprised they can get away with it. Also they pay pretty damn well so I guess that helps.
