I just switched jobs in San Francisco, and part of my search was parental leave. I did not see any companies in the 6-12 month paid parental leave range.

6-20 weeks is the range I saw. Twitter at 20, Square (and I think Facebook) at 16, Google at 12, and most at 6.

I'm totally onboard with it being government funded instead of employer funded. I think tying it to salary (and what people pay in) makes sense, as many people are less likely to take it if it's significantly under their normal income.

Netflix gives 12 months for maternity/paternity.
Thanks! I didn't check them out because I wasn't interested in leaving the city (and only included FB because I'd heard theirs was good).
