How the hell has no one said insurance yet?! I guess this mostly applies to the US, but I wouldn't want to work at a place with bad insurance. Otherwise - fun

How the hell has no one said insurance yet?! I guess this mostly applies to the US, but I wouldn't want to work at a place with bad insurance. Otherwise - fun/intelligent people to work with - vacation, both in length and ability to take it whenever I want (I have 20 days right now) - ability to take an hour here or there to get a haircut/deal with bureaucracy/etc. I guess wfh is included in this -office being in a convenient place close to public transportation with lots of lunch options nearby Stuff I don't have that I'd like: -natural light/a view -summer hours would be amazing

>How the hell has no one said insurance yet?! I guess this mostly applies to the US, but I wouldn't want to work at a place with bad insurance I consider that a necessity, not a perk! Agree with the sentiment, though. I will never work for a company that offers Aetna for insurance.

It's also a solid perk in the UK. I've not worked at many big companies, but most places I've worked at have had good health insurance plans.

  I've worked at a few major, but mainly smaller over my 30 year UK career, and none have had health insurance. Mostly outside London. I have had gourmet meals in-house, gym membership, book allowances, discount hardware and others, but never yet health insurance.

    Also worked mostly smaller UK places, and so far never had any of them perks, but always had health insurance - Seems it’s fairly random in the UK

    That's surprising, considering most plans are pretty cheap. I've almost exclusively worked at small companies, agencies mostly, and my last three places had some form of private health plan. I've also never worked in London, where it seems to be a common perk everywhere.
