  1. All the (unneeded) secrecy around the compensation package - you are not allowed to talk about your salary and stock options with other employees, and in some places not even with your manager.

That is illegal even in the US, although it happens all the time.

I assume it is also illegal in other countries with better worker rights laws than the US.

Yeah, downvoted. People shouldn't be writing articles about these things if they don't know, research, and validate basic info.
