I guess you never worked for a Large Drug Company. I have a relative working for one (low-level employee) and pretty much on the way home, you pick up your bag of money bonus leaving every day :)

The benefits are 100x better that anything I have ever had in tech. Plus everyone gets stock bonuses and money bonuses when a new product is successful. And working from home, sure, why not.
