I vaguely remember that I could participate in the employee purchase program. This was during the financial crisis though and I was an undergrad intern with a paltry ability to invest.

Even if I had hit received some great stock award in all likelihood I would have sold it for index funds at my first opportunity. I imagine some of my old coworkers made out quite well though.

I joined as a new college grad (full time) the same year. I remember the 10% pay cut announcement. I didn't get any stock granted to me in the 4 years I was there as a SWE working on CUDA. They had an ESPP you could put 10% of your paycheck into or something like that though.
