Healthcare benefits
With the ever-increasing costs of healthcare and health insurance, working for an employer with a top-notch set of healthcare benefits can be quite important, especially to those with families!
Most semiconductor companies offer excellent packages of healthcare benefits for their full-time employees. These packages might include HMO or PPO plans where you only pay a small fraction of any actual doctor's bills or hospital stays. Usually, these packages also offer dental insurance, eyecare insurance, and even more fringe things like psychologist visits.
As an employee, you can expect to pay a certain "premium" out of your paychecks which covers your portion of the insurance plan cost. Typically, your employer will be paying three or four times that amount on your behalf, which is why healthcare is considered a benefit.
