Profit Sharing:

OpenDNS has an equity structure unlike most startups. Our structure directly benefits employees. Unlike most startups where options are granted and vest into the right to purchase shares that may or may not ever be worth anything, OpenDNS employees vest directly into ownership in the company and participate in profit sharing. This creates an environment where the hard work of the team is recognized on an on-going basis, before an exit event. You can and should ask us about how we're structured and why it is so awesome.
