Offer: stocks vesting schedule not in writing

Question

Hi,I just got an offer for a software position and they just mentioned the stock amount I will get. Recruiter says those will vest over 3 years and there is a quarterly vesting schedule. However, nothing is given in writing about the vesting schedule, is that okay? or they should make it clear in writing?

I'd check with the recruiter. Usually most companies have an entirely separate document outlining the stock incentives plan. It's usually referenced in the offer letter. There it mentions exactly how much vests at what cadence, and whether there's a cliff.

If the grant value is in writing in the offer, I personally wouldn't worry much. It's going to be standard, not customized for you.If you want to verify before signing, you can probably confirm with a web search (it might even be here on levels), or ask the recruiter for a copy of the plan document.

I had this happen and was assured it was ok - fast forward 9 months and stock grant 20% of what was promised - lucky I had an email confirmation otherwise would have been a lost cause
