Google's new vesting schedule
33% / 33% / 22% / 12% - Front-loaded vesting. Have heard this for several new hires but not all. Notably haven't seen this for new graduates.

I believe this was done to eliminate the 4 year cliff. There is no refresher between years 1 and 2 so same percentage slight raise with growth.
Then you start getting stacking refreshers. When I was at google including sign on bonus I got basically a 0% raise between years one and two and then a 35% raise the next year due to growth plus stacking. I left before my cliff when I would have seen a 20% drop due to the lack of first year refresher.
They have essentially bumped up year 1 and 2 salary while eleminating the big bump for year 3 and corresponding drop for year 5.
