The Job Perks You Wish You Had

Reading Time: 3 minutes

To most of us a free cup of coffee here and there and the occasional “away day” are the extent of the perks of the job, and in today’s challenging economic environment they are added extras which we are very grateful for indeed.

For some lunch on the company account is just the tip of the ice berg. Whether they work a crazy amount of hours to justify it, have an unusual profession or have simply landed on their feet you wouldn’t believe what added bonuses some employees receive on a daily basis.

Here are a few of our favourites.

Sega

BsoR3

Love Sonic the Hedgehog? Love computer games? You might have thought that developing computer games all day long already was a dream come true, but believe it or not, it gets even better. Wanting their employees to be relaxed at all times, staff can leave their computers to indulge in some on site massages and reflexology. Peckish? They also want to make sure that employees are getting their five a day with free fresh fruit widely available to them.

 

 

 

 

Google

38-google-gtv1Thought that free fruit was good? How about free food all the time? No more worrying about getting up early to make your sandwich on a morning or rushing around at lunch, if you work for Google you can enjoy a freshly cooked meal at lunch or dinner time, all on the house of everyone’s favourite search engine. Not only that, you can rest easy knowing that your car is being looked after with free car washes and oil changes while you work. Why would you ever want to leave?
