BB 401k Match Doesn’t Vest?

I was reading the 401k plan document for my BB bank and saw that although they offer a match, it is not 100% vested until you complete 3 years of service. For the vast majority of IB analysts who are hopping in 2 years, does this mean the company match is essentially useless? That’s almost $20k in company match over the 2 years I thought I’d be getting but won’t actually be vested. Can anyone confirm if that’s the case?
