Flawed Employee Share scheme - beware

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

high growth potential. Offers employee shares "to participate in growth of the company"

Cons

In actual fact, company cashes in the business you built. when you decide to leave amicably on good terms, they labelled you a bad leaver, penalise your shares, profit from it by selling to another employee at the current value.
