Intransparent with blackout periods - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij BeOne

Totally intransparent timing for blackout periods. And very, very long blackout periods. After quarter results are announced, there might be 2-3 weeks to trade, then it is blackout again. Total trading days during the year might be 60 or so. This makes it nearly impossible to sell shares on up days, which invariably occur only during very, very long blackout periods. They keep touting some special plan that you can set up during an open window, but it requires approvals and it also means you cannot maximize because you pick a limit price ahead of time. You have to pre-pick a value at which you want to sell and then hope the price goes that high but not higher, otherwise you have just sold for less than you otherwise could have. It is really annoying because LTIs are marketed during recruitment process and account for a big part of the total comp package.
