I agree with part of the statements but...

> I realize you don't really care about us vs Adobe, you are going for the best bid.

But do you (at least a bit) care about candidate? Why candidate should care about you and your company if on the first sign of any troubles (that completely unrelated to candidate) you will just fire him immediately?

And tell me that you will not fire him and work with loss. Tell me please.

We really do and we try to reflect that in the offer. Our vesting packages are orders of magnitude larger than what's typical, with long exercise times. Our finances are also pretty stable (no VC, cash flow positive, long term licenses) so we can invest in them upfront and go over asking.

Your vesting package is also meaningless unless I can trade my options for cash when they vest and then exchange that cash for goods and services. I value equity in a non public company at $0
