Yes and no.
It really depends on the company you work for and it depends on the industry. Right now with the strong economy in the US, employers are having a tough time attracting qualified employees in some industries. My current employer for example gives me benefits that are comparable to what I used to get in Calgary with the added advantage of being able to work remotely some days. Yes that NYT article about Amazon seems horrific, but that's the exception in the US, not the norm.
