What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Acquia?

"Options" for an IPO that was going to happen "any month now" were used during negotiations to lower salaries. Months turned to years; shares are still being sold as an alternative to retirement / 401k shares, but it looks like IPO may never happen. Aside from that, it's a good place to work. It's full of very smart people.

I was told that IPO was imminent, within 2-3 months, and options were used to negotiate a lower salary and offered instead of any 401k matching at all. Years later, it seems that IPO may never happen.
