Just from my experience, Amazon almost universally offers signing bonuses to new hires in order to make up for backloaded vesting.

I am kind of shocked at how poorly Amazon pays new grads on top of unfavorable vesting schedules. There is a reason most of my friends left it in < 2 years for better work and pay.

I joined as a new grad at Amazon. What do you think I'm paid, and what do you expect me to make?

[mav3rick]

I hope you are paid what you wanted to be paid. On average my experience has been that Amazon's offers are lesser than Google and Facebook's. Not to mention no free food which would be okay if Amazon paid more but that is not the case.

I'm sorry, are you saying I'm lesser? I don't understand what you mean by this.

I don't think this innuendo helps anyone considering offers at multiple places.

[mav3rick]

There is no innuendo ? I clearly stated Amazon's average offer is less than G and F. No one said "you are lesser". Whatever that means.

That's the direct implication, however. Unless you claim offers are decoupled from the labor market's value of an individual, which is certainly a novel idea I'd be interested in hearing about.
