European in general. My wife works for a biotech company in Austria which was recently aquired by an american company and it's so funny to hear about their efforts to adapt to EU law and culture. Most of their training material is still unchanged from their US branch so there are things they list as benefits for all employees like

- 3 Weeks paid vacation (we get 5 by law)

- Health insurance (you know the drill)

- 3 weeks parental leave (we get 1 year for 80% pay, first 6 months full pay, then 5 years protection against dismissal)

- 5 days paid care leave for when your kid is sick (we get 12)

So their benefits which makes them think make them attactive are all below basic EU law that even store clerks get
