I feel like when you're working at a company that's about to go public, you can sort of see the writing on the wall (e.g. quick wins with no long-term strategy, high turnover and bad morale, upcoming products, etc.). I run Facebook marketing campaigns and it was so clear that mobile advertising was going to be a cash cow in the early days -- this was before any numbers were out there and people were still VERY skeptical about Facebook's mobile strategy. I think employees who want to live dangerously by not selling their stock should use their gut based on what they see working or not working at their company.
