FB and GOOG are both large, stable surveillance/ad-tech companies with various money-losing side-bets. Their compensation is structured differently than what you would find at MSFT, IBM, etc. (more workplace perks), but it seems strange to relate that compensation structure to a "startup." People who work there get fat salaries, reliable employment, and perks, not a high-risk bet on a new idea.
- alehul 10y agoThat makes sense. I was just thinking of the look and feel of the workplace and people you're surrounded by more so than the company's purpose or risk of employment. Having come from a very non-tech background, I saw a lot of striking similarities in those aspects compared to what I had known. Thanks for the input!
