Any other companies doing one year equity grants?

Any other companies doing this or something similar?

In theory, I like the idea of not being handcuffed to a 1 year cliff. But if I believed in the company long term, that would not be an issue, and this policy would suck. 
Not sure what the thinking is here. They want to encourage hiring short term mercenaries?
