Couple odd ones, free car wash, dry cleaning and company shuttle. More useful though common - company stock, 3 weeks vaca + lots of possible unpaid holidays,

We also have a university program on campus which used to have classes taught by profs in the SF Bay area, so you wouldn't have to drive to university. I'm told that used to be a lot more active. There's also an outdoor theator at work, I haven't seen it been used yet so I guess that was something more for back in the hayday.

Not my current employer, but when I worked at Cisco we got one weird perk was that Cisco had a deal with some biomedical company where we could get tested to see our genetic susceptibility to 22 common genetic diseases. Ultimately I didn't make use of it though.
