You can choose how much of your comp to take in equity, if you work in countries where that is allowed (most of them.)
We pay enough that your compensation is not a reason you want to leave (or stay — we don’t pay more than the best you could possibly get elsewhere.) because our philosophy on compensation is such, it has a few ripple effects - there aren’t limited budgets for raises, instead we ask for each person did the market move for your role, or did you substantially change roles? This avoids the common shenanigans / pitfalls of comp elsewhere.
I personally believe that our early move to the cloud, early adoption of micro services and our open source contributions also help our “tech brand”.

It’s the best place I have worked.
