Depends on if they are set up with a double trigger. Here is a decent explainer, but you can research more about RSU double triggers that can help avoid taxes for large-but-private companies: https://www.parkworth.com/blogs&

No reason the company cant do that, usually, but it's not advantageous for (most) employees. RSU comp is taxable on vest, but if the stock is not liquid the employee must pay out of pocket at each vesting event to cover the taxes.
