Are you at Google? If you are, and aren't getting GSUs (fully vested stock units), you're missing out.

No and no. I have only had traditional stock options which are essentially funny money that are vested over a period of years. You still have to purchase the stock but after the stock is vested you just get the ability to execute once there is an equity event such as IPO or sale...
Yeah. Google offer options and stock units, so are definitely a valuable component of the salary.
