I mean, its all creativity for me. Problem solving with creativity to make something greater than the sum of it's parts. When you're working 12 hours a day and thinking about how to make more efficient algorithms it certainly wears on you. However, it's exciting to see a project that started out as an idea become something playable.

Then again the way things have been going, once the project is up we'll probably all be fired

50% off Phone bill
Upgrade every 10 months
Tuition Assistance

Those are the ones I enjoy.
 
Im a volunteer EMT so not only do I work for free, but I dont get any of these cool perks either.
But I do get to put it on my resume.

With that on your resume, you'll hop back up quick.
 
Anyone work @ the Bloomberg Offices in DC? Man they have it MADE. Basically a whole damn convenience store as their kitchen. Never seen so much free junk food in my life.
 
Hoteling (thats works from home for you simple ones)

Reimbursed $.45 Cents a mile for driving my own car.
 
part time- 50% or more off some decent brands (lacoste, clarks originals, nudies etc)
 
i call my discounts "playa prices"
laugh.gif


i have a full time job but my part time job is at an electronic store that shall be named nameless
devil.gif


the discounts are good, especially on clearance items..almost 40-50% off the markdown prices for employees
pimp.gif
my coworker bought a macbook pro for stupid cheap just for winning the most customer service surveys.

networking = it's all about who you know! i've let several friends use my discount and they've helped me used their discounts on their end (mortgages, clothing, shoes, etc)

damn some of yall get hooked up.

i dont got much but i love my job/company

- flex "personal fitness/wellness" scheduling. i can come in late in the mornings if i wanna go hit the gym before work.
- company lunches on occasion
- 401K
- fully covered healthcare

Lucky for me I get to piggyback off of some of my wife's perks/freebies since she works in advertising and works on an entertainment account

- she gets to take our puppy to the office with her everyday (less hassle for me)
- invites to events/award shows and afterparties (Grammys, SAG Awards, Peoples Choice, etc... no Emmys or Oscars yet though)
- sporting event tickets (I probably hit up about 10-20 different games a year, usually a box or premier lower level seating for Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Dodgers... she just managed to score us some comped Strikeforce tickets for next month)
