I think the most significant benefits are the ones an employee can't simply buy for him or herself. For example, we offer an extremely flexible leave and vacation policy. It's a great benefit because it's good for employees, good for the company, and it doesn't "cost" anything! Better, are the ones that big companies can't really offer: like being part of something that's rapidly growing and evolving and knowing that you can have a significant impact on the entire company. Personally, I think seeing something I did make a difference is one of the most important factors in job satisfaction.
