Phd students don't have any benefit packages. I am now just writing to extend the word limit.

flexible work time is the best part poor salary is the worst, unless you can bear student lifestyle after earning a PHD!

the possibility to work flexibly is very valuable, I am also very happy that I can work from home a lot so that helps with work/life balance

Good pension, free access to various University resources (admission to exhibitions/events/venues), academic discounts.

The maternity/paternity/shared parental leave scheme is excellent. Since the university signed up to the Athena SWAN charter for women in science, I believe the shared parental leave scheme goes beyond the minimum legal requirements, and is available to staff in all divisions (not just science).
