They try to keep the benefits as even as possible around the world for the employees. Where we (USAians) really make it out well is on the medical benefits. Zero dollars per pay period for the entire family, $10 office visits, select your own doctor, etc, etc. But I don't have any dependents, so it's not as good as a deal for me. Adn the usual 401k match and stock purchase plan, though not a nice of a plan as at the other company.
