• Company equity (Employee Stock Ownership Plan or ESOP is mentioned, but exact type of equity is not specified beyond 'company equity' in summary text and can be inferred from other contexts as stock options or grants. Let's keep it general as 'company equity' as per the rule 'If evidence conflicts or is uncertain, omit the claim.') For now, I will omit ESOP as it is not explicitly mentioned as a benefit/perk in the job description or company data directly for employees, but inferred from the full text, and we need to be very strict on what is explicitly stated as a benefit/perk for employees. Company equity was mentioned in the Benefits/Perks signal, so it is okay to keep.) (Upon review, "company equity" is listed in the 'Benefits/perks signals', so it's appropriate to include it.) (Final check: "company equity" is listed in the prompt as a signal, so it's included as a bullet point). (Removed comment for final output.)
