I had a first year cliff at Google a few years ago. But they might have changed that.

Facebook definitely doesn't have a cliff in 2020.



Changed in latter half of 2017.


Interesting. Do you know why?


More employee friendly


But why didn't they do it before then?


It was just acceptable before to have a 1 year cliff? Also it was done to placate Nooglers not getting a refresher for the first year (although that didn't make any sense and some Nooglers in 2017 got neither end of the stick).


Thanks!
