Does anyone else think the RSU comp structure is a disincentive to work to your full potential? I know, for example, that my base comp is maxed out so my only raises will be through additional RSUs. They only grant new RSUs once per year and do it for years out in the future. So, for this year’s comp cycle, I got RSUs that won’t vest until 2023. Yeah, who cares? Who knows if I will even work here by then. There is no relatable tie in between performance and comp.

Sounds like you can kinda just chill and keep letting RSUs roll in. I do think the cap on base is odd though

I assume the RSU packages have some sort of relationship to performance but we don’t get specifics on what our performance rankings are or how that relates to our compensation. That makes it even harder to tie it all together.

In other places, they would say “you got the highest performance rating and that means you got X as a bonus and raise as a result.” Amazon doesn’t do that. It’s really weird. Plus, the comp skips ahead so far. In April 2021, they told me that my comp (base plus RSUs) for 2020 and 2021 remain as planned and then I got additional RSUs for 2023. Um, OK? Why? I don’t get it.

In other places where I have worked, if I had a great performance year, I would get a large cash bonus as a reward. It was an incentive to perform at high levels. Here, I feel like so long as you perform well enough not to get in trouble, that’s all that’s needed. There isn’t that push to perform higher for the rewards.

THATS very sad…no incentive to perform better;(

Would you say that the amount you got as a cash reward bonus is more than the amount you make yearly of RSUs?

No, it’s a different comp structure entirely. Well over half of my compensation comes from RSUs.

I think that it's more of an incentive to keep you than to make you work better right now. Can see how that is frustrating.

New offer from current company to move to a new team and they’re like it’s some big promotion. Current role is key accounts + a territory, 125k base + 31k and 19k additional bonus opportunities (which I’ve been hitting consistently). New role is a pay grade jump technically and just key accounts and supporting another team for some other big accounts. Pay is 158k + 27k bonus. Total comp difference is only 3% raise. I got a 6% raise in the same role last year alone. What would you negotiate?
