You think that the employee equity pool was 25% of the company? That's pretty high. Not maybe completely unprecedented, but I'd expect considerably lower.

Founders apparently got 50%.
GitHub had 2 funding events.
https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/github-series-b--49...
$250M at pre-money valuation of $1.8B i.e. 13%.
https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/github-series-a--83...
$100M at valuation of $650 i.e. 15%
So ~28% to VC, 50% to founders, which leaves 22%
How much of that was actually allocated, I don't know.
In fact, they have 745 employees. That averages out to 4.6 million per employee. Now, there's probably a good bit of VC money in there diluting that, but i'd bet not by more than 50%. I think the employee equity pool did just fine here.
