My house is owned by my employers and I dont have to pay for it. So thats a nice bonus especially since its just a minimum wage job. Oh and im off with a broken arm from work at the minute which its looking like ill need surgery for and they are still going to pay me my normal pay. Otherwise id just have to work with it somehow.
What annoys me is that most people get a hefty discount on the things their company produces. Do I get a discount on oil? Do I monkeys! Biggest perk though is a company credit card which is only monitored by my boss and he's...both encouraging and generous when he suggest locations for corporate food and entertainment.
They make me pay for life insurance out my benefits. I do get a car, but the budget isn't great so most decent stuff is out of reach.

We have duel screens at my place but only because they are too tight to upgrade our 4:3 monitors to widescreen ones.

Yes, yes it does as it is also one of mine lol. (Not an official perk, kinda ties in with the next one) Despite not being in the services I pretty much get military discount everywhere. Flexible approach to hours (as long as my stuff is done) Get to work with some amazing people and see things most wont. Bit of international travel with options to go out abroad for a couple years further along the career chain if I want. Cheap gym access Few other things like ms office professional (I think) for 15 quid or something and stuff like that.
ha, you call those perks? We get free parking, a table tennis table and I get a choice of 3 mugs to have my tea in. Back of the net!
Like you a games room, massages, free coffee and free home internet connection. Christmas and summer party, also the odd team outing occasionally, oh and a discounted canteen and free fresh OJ and fruit.
