Did you ever engage a lawyer to review your option documentation?

  While I agree generally w/ this advice, in my experience, companies try to make that impossible or very difficult for employees. For example, most hiring offers are exploding: I've been given exploding offers over a weekend, over holidays: try getting a lawyer when you're not at home. Further, again in my experience, getting a lawyer is actually significantly challenging to someone who hasn't done it: you need a lawyer in the relevant area of law, and you need to know their price, and these two critical pieces of information seem generally to be the things left off the website. You can argue that an employee should try to negotiate for adequate time, and maybe they should, but not all will. Those too timid to do so are effectively being taken advantage of; thus I find most companies' positions morally reprehensible.
