Hands down, it's the paid time off. Not only do they give a generous number of holidays, plus some extra days before or after holidays sometimes (which you can take another day if you have to work the actual day), but vacation accrues at a very satisfactory rate, for an American company.
Between carryover, increased accrual and other factors, I found out today that I have 26.5 vacation days and 10 sick days. These days, time off with the potential to do nothing is one of the most precious commodities to me! Even though I'll have to use quite a bit when our British visitors are in town this year, I'm going to make sure to carve out a few do-nothing days for myself.
The best thing about my job
