What are Stock purchase programs, and are they beneficial to employees?

One of my Twitch regulars got a job at a public company that does a "stock purchase program" and asked for information and my opinion. Are they beneficial? How do you know when, or whether, to invest your money in the company? DISCLAIMER: this answer is full of OPINION, I am not a tax accountant, tax professional, or tax advisor of any sort.
