Facebook Engineering Manager Stock Options

Facebook issues Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to every Software Engineer irrespective of the job level. This type of compensation consists of receiving company shares in exchange for your work. Most big tech companies issue RSUs to their employees. It’s a good way to get the employees invested in the long-term success of the company. 

At Facebook, RSUs are subject to a four-year vesting schedule, which means 25% of your stocks vest every year for four years. Until you’ve been in the company for at least a year, the stock will not be accessible. You need to wait until your stocks vest to sell them.
