What are some of the most interesting, surprising, beneficial or unique benefits your firm provides?

Unfortunately mine doesn't have anything particularly unique or interesting. I guess the extra $750 deposited into our HSA accounts annually is ok. Also love corporate memberships to a lot of the big museums and tourist spots for when friends and family come to visit ☺️

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
