Clawback on Annual Bonuses

I recently signed a FT offer for an MBA associate position and doing some life planning. I am curious about industry norms on the annual bonus, specifically: the typical timing of the payout (I know they are announced in Jan/Feb) and if there is clawback. I am aware there is a 12 mo clawback provision for the signing bonus. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Generally there isn't a clawback associated with the annual bonuses, however most banks offer some portion of the bonus as stock awards with various vesting schedules (3-4 years), BB banks especially have a larger stock component associated with the bonuses whereas MM and EB are more likely to trend towards a higher cash component (though very few are 100% cash)
