| Online companies are becoming more like traditional “brick-and-mortar firms” in the way they compensate employees, now offering them more cash along with stock options, a new survey found. The study by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers found that while Internet companies continue to offer stock-option packages to high-level employees there has been a rise in the amount of cash pay given.
Looking at the top three positions—chief executive, chief operating and chief financial officers—those employees saw their total cash compensation rise 13 percent from last year, said the survey, which was based on the responses of 123 Internet companies. |
