Does SocGen not pay sign-on bonuses anymore?

I heard that SocGen in London doesn't pay sign-on bonuses to incoming analysts anymore. Does anyone know more about this? It just sounds somewhat surprising, as sign-on bonuses are pretty much the norm at all bulge brackets.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“My mentor got on at 4 AM to make the session work with my schedule, which says a lot about how much he cares about helping students. He walked through every single point I brought, never rushed me, and made sure I actually understood each one before moving on. He was patient and direct, and he gave me honest feedback when something needed work. I left the call with a clear plan and a lot more confidence than I had going in. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for real, practical guidance.”

I've heard this as well. I think their salaries are quite modest too.
