It did not shower people with grants but I met plenty of people who made a killing with post IPO stocks and pay at Microsoft. It also had a great culture with vibrant campus life, lectures, free soda and other things that were uncommon at the time.

How did they make a killing with post IPO stock if they weren't getting big grants? Their stock went up 50% over a 15 year period. Not great.
