I’ve had some success negotiating stock options after starting a job. In my experience it was about showing the value I was bringing to the company and explaining how stock options aligned with my long-term commitment. Just be prepared to have data on your contributions and future potential!

Was it a big company? I know 'tech' companies do it but not sure many others do it besides for senior leadership and executives.

Yes

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
