I interviewed with the Pokémon Company recently, and their benefits were the absolute #1 I've seen of any enterprise level company. If I get the gig I doubt I'd ever leave. I mean, these are CEO level benefit packages for mid-level (minus the goofball CEO golden parachute).

Could you share some? I'd be interested to see how they stack up to eg Google, ms or any of the other large tech companies.

$1 to $1 401k match to max IRS, no vesting period. The highest I've ever seen was 10% match.

$0 insurance for individual 90% covered for family.

20 days starting annual pto.

Bonus schedule.

Some other stuff.

The tech companies do back ended vesting periods to own you for 4 years.

You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.

I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.

This isn't even a senior level position, it's bottom level. Seniors get way more.

Decent stuff. From an EU pov, pretty standard though. Aside from the vesting period. That's pretty sweet.

F-35's or maternity leave, you don't get both....Yeah, lot of the EU has it right.

Gawd dayum those are amazing benefits. Even the cushy government job I interviewed for didn't have benefits that good

This was for a contract worker, too, that could extend or convert after 12 months.
