As someone who is employed by a company of <10 and had to take 1 of 2 weeks vacation for the my kid's birth, I wish I had this kind of benefit, but then if I did, I'd have to deal with all of the negative parts of working for a big company. It's a trade-off, and here in the hinterlands where there isn't VC funding to be had for every app idea or billions behind the company already, we end up with what we can. I'm happier in my small company 8-5 with almost no extra time than I would be working for a big company 7-7 with regular demands for time put in outside of the office.
