Are signing bonuses 10K before or after tax?

As question above is asking, is the 10K for a signing bonus taxed so we are only getting 7K, or are taxes already taken into consideration by the firm and we receive 10K after taxes? I have never heard until recently that its 10k after taxes and just wanted to check if that was the case.
