About These Year End Bonuses: When Does A First-Year Analyst Get His First Bonus?

Just signed my official offer letter to end the recruitment process (thank Christ). In my letter it laid out base salary, target bonus % and sign-on bonus and it was specified that the sign-on bonus is paid out with the first pay check. However, It is my understanding that yearly bonuses are generally paid out over the holiday season - does this mean that my first yearly bonus will actually be received 15 or 16 months into my tenure?

I appreciate any answers. I'll be working at a Mid-Sized REPE shop so if anyone has any questions about the recruiting process or otherwise that I can help them out with feel free to ask away.
