- jandrese 3y agoEven if they did you know the annual performance review would go something like: "You did a great job this year and met or exceeded all of the metrics we measured, but your compa ratio is just too high so instead of a raise we are going to give you a lump sum instead." Big company culture vs. startup culture is a known issue. People choose to work for startups to avoid that big company culture, so if a big company buys you out then it's time to move on.

- gwern 3y agoOP discusses this and how it was a hollow promise. Even if it was kept in the full spirit of the nonbinding verbal agreement (which would utterly infuriate MS staff and demoralize them), it would be a bad deal to swap ultra-hot private OA PPUs for the same nominal (but low-growth) amount of MS stock and then have to work at MS.
