As PG suggests: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2672454.. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2672454... the best thing you can do is work for a company where you trust the management team and the VC's that back them.

Check thefunded.com for the VCs (and ask around as well) and do your best to work for good people who care about their employees and reputation.
