I used to work with one MNC that give sign on bonus, payable on sixth month, but need to stay for at least a year. Normal je.

I also previously worked with another MNC that acquired my then employer, and received retention bonus if stayed for 2 years iinm.

In that case it's a bit odd. Paying back performance bonus for work done in previous year is tbh kinda weird.

Usually some calculative companies did not pay the performance bonus even if you're still serving notice period e.g. performance bonus for 2022 payable in first quarter 2023 and you didn't get it since you're serving 3-months resignation notice period.
