They gave everyone an Xbox 360 slim and a Kinect last week. I took the cash instead and used it for hockey registration. Last year I kept the PS3. The year before I kept the Wii.

Free arcade machines in the lobby. Currently King of Fighters and SNK arcade classics. I'd like to get a bubble hockey machine out there.

Free soda machine, coffee. Today was free lunch if you signed up to donate blood.

We have monthly movie days. Each month we show a movie at lunchtime and co. brings in food for everyone.

Birthday parties each month. If it's your birthday, you get a card signed by everyone in the company and a best buy gift card. Everyone gets cake.

Royalty sharing (last project was $2000).

No defined hours (I can play noon hour shinny a couple times a week if I want). If you stay past 6pm you get free dinner.

Co. matches employee's 401K contributions. No max. Free life insurance, and extensively subsidized health insurance.

Nice big cash Christmas bonus delivered in person by the president of the company.

We're a video game company, so the biggest perk is probably that everyone who works here has pretty much always wanted to work here. No dead weight.

Frankly - I have the greatest job on earth, and unless you're making high six figures, you'll never convince me otherwise!
