Roy should have the ins, but I'll talk about my once-removed experience...

1) Having kids rocks. You have take upto 1 year at about 90% of your salary. And even better you can be away from the job (not sure how this applies to men - but paternity leaves are an option as well these days) for another 4 years (so that's 5 years in total)... with jeopardizing your position or senority once you get back.

2) Overall, everything is shuper. When we merged back into one company at Deloitte, the benefits people said that the D&T (the big fish in this merger) have an excellent plan - relative to other private firms. Then there was a chuckle about how you cannot even compare to government, because you'll just feel shaften in the end...

Yeah, you'ld have to be more specific as to which area you're interested in. There are so many benefits. Sometimes, most employess don't even use them.

+ Excellent discounts on hotels/car rentals.
+ Insurance for your car.
+ Dental
+ Personal days off that you get paid for.
+ accumulated vacation...to a limit of course, where as some companies force you to take a 2 week vacation and will not let you save up for a 3 week vacation.
+ overtime pay. It's amazing how many private companies don't pay overtime.

... and the list goes on...

I want to know *all* of the benefits.

Hot chicks at your beck and call. You have a private number to get them. How's that for a cool benefit. Not many people know about that.
