No options on issue - no wonder they are having trouble attracting staff. Issue options at market price and in theory they are free (ie. replaced the bonus they would otherwise have got but saves you cash) and gives the employee an incentive to make the company worth more. In my opinion, options work better with a smaller company than a bigger company as individual employees can actually have an impact on the results. Common, if not expected in a small tech company and especially since this company has liquidity, even better (most small companies would ban selling to outside investors).
