At Lyft, RSUs are subject to a 1-year vesting schedule:

  • 100% vests in the 1st-YR (25.00% quarterly)

Alternatively, Lyft has now begun issuing single year vesting schedules with no cliff.

The pros are protection from the stock price declining, the cons being that you may see limited upside from stock growth.
