Apart from permission to work remotely, nothing else really matters from what is advertised as perks. Well, maybe health insurance in the countries underdeveloped with this regard. Everything else either you can buy easily yourself (and not depend with lifestyle on this particular employer) or gets old after six months.

What really matters is how much you can learn (and you only learn by actually doing something that's above your skills) and how much you can develop your own ideas, but (a) nobody advertises this and (b) even if everybody did, it's a really difficult thing to verify before you actually take the job.
