As someone who recently got stuck in poor option execution situation, this is great. It is certainly better for companies to compete with each other on transparency and honesty - rather than foosball and free meals.

A big problem is all the inertia in the marketplace where Option Pools, and policies of many companies are already established and written into investment rounds, legal paperwork and usually needs a board decision that may not be in their own interests.

It would be awesome if Glassdoor has some sort of info about this(Option Exercise Policy: XXXX) per company.

Yes it would be great to get more public exposure about stock option policies and encourage the status quo to change.
