Yes! The fine print they don't tell you about is that if you accept the money up front, you are locked in for 2 years. You can accept or decline the initial bonus money. If you decline it, you will get paid on a later date after you have "earned" it. The good part is that you aren't locked in and free resign without repayment. If you accept the bonuses right away, you are required to repay a majority of the money if you resign prior to 2 years employment.
