FT offer length

A friend of mine received an offer letter from a MM but its states that the contract is only valid for 2 full year of analyst as part of a graduate program. Then he would be kept (or not) and promoted to Associate.

I was wondering if this is common or if it is really specific to this firm?
Are your offer letters usually for an infinite amount of time or only 2 or 3 years?

Thanks!

 

Offer letter from my EB set forth a "2 year minimum commitment" per the Analyst program structure.

I've heard of similar 2 year clauses to the one you are referring to, so I'd say it's fairly common.
