I remember insider trading being roughly defined as "trading on non-public information which can be considered to be relevant to the share price" during our company training. At least in our company, most of the non-public information that the engineers have isn't really going to rock the stock price, since it's usually just feature additions to existing products. I imagine it'd be quite a lot different if you were working at for example Apple and knew that they were going to release a whole new product (and not just the iPhone X+1). My biggest giveaway from the company training was to just avoid the company stock. Life is much easier that way. |

That has always been my approach, but I also have never worked for a company that routinely gives stock to employees. Having a tilt in your investment portfolio towards your employer is a big risk concentrator (company goes downhill, you might get laid off at the same time), not to mention the potential issues with insider trading or the appearance of insider trading.
