^Haha, well, when you go from a place that offers no perks to “standard” perks… you don’t take anything for granted. I’m glad I have post-its and a good chair to sit in.

We get tons of free food here, but I’m not sure if that’s a perk or a long-term risk.
Same as Numi. Tons of free food but definately stuff that increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Friday’s off at 3 PM for a month and a half over the summer. Friday bagels and occassionally lunch is provided. Pretty good holiday parties. Fairly open policy towards attending industry conferences.
I have the beer perk as well, although I use the free chocolate milk perk even more. Sounds slightly moronic, but it’s terrific after going to the gym at lunch, etc.
I get every alternate friday off and metro is paid for.
Coffee Stand with professional barista and free donuts and bagels on fridays
Free soda, coffee all day every day.
