I realize I should have added we pay above market salaries, give bonuses for good work, and focus on making our engineers feel rewarded and valued. This is just a PART of that, and a part our engineers love and always talk about to potential new hires.
I could have written it just from the engineer's perspective......I get paid a ton, encouraged to take time off, my company recognizes my contributions, the CEO specifically says thank you to me all the time, and I got $10,000 of free stuff when I started!
But since there are a lot of founders on this forum, I was trying to give a measured balance of both how it benefits engineers and how it benefits the company.
