It turns out the hiring manager was under the impression it was confidential since no one had ever asked him before. He's an engineer, so I can forgive him for not knowing.

While the stock options aren't great, I was able to get them to up the salary by a lot, so I ended up accepting the job. If they didn't have such a good track record I probably would have run the other way. Either way, the comments on this board helped me negotiate a much better salary even if my options are mostly worthless.
