I only actually do a few hours of work a day unless something horrible has happened, so I watch a lot of youtube or sneak in a game. Can't fix the computers if they are all working. Also, pension plan.

Get to access lots of events and festivals.
Get fed often, if not get PD's to sort myself out.
Stay in lots of Travelodges.
Free booze.
Office is stocked with beer and liquor.
I'm betting on a lawyers office.
I had this perk once at a fintech startup company. Was pretty interesting to see a QA person get so pissed off at the client that they opened up a stash and started pounding makers mark.

I don't have a schedule. I arrive and leave when I want and taking a day off is no issue.
Flexible hours, reasonable pay, close to where I live, my dog is in the office with me.
Woah, now that's a perk I'd love to have, especially when rent is like a third of my paycheck!
In my case, I have a lot of free time during my shifts so I've been able to study and finish my uni assignments at work. 👍
Easy access to electronic parts at discount, and the ability to use company machinery.
Fir example, we have this machine that cuts and strips cables. You just hook up a roll of cable, feed it into the machine, enter lengths and amount, and press start. I recently ran it to cut and strip 160 pieces, which took about three minutes...
Boarding school. Have accomodation for staff to live on campus (so 3 minute walk to work).
School. Kids go on holiday means staff also go on holiday. Gaurenteed break every 10 weeks.
Staying long at a school. Seeing the shy year kid in year 8 grow up to be school captain. Complimenting the kids growth spurts every christmas break, and see how happy they look. Letting the nerdy kid who doesn't like sports borrow my kindle all term, and fly through Artemis AND Hail Mary in like 2 weeks max.
Sure there are some downsides. My funniest example is the 40 minute bus trip with everyone doing their best Alvin and the Chipmunks impression. A less funny one is I caught a chair a student threw at another student. (Caught in my hand. Not hurt). The students can be a handful at times. But I remember the happy days.
Travel. Sure, it's not usually thrilling travel, but 4x a year to central Florida, out to San Francisco for Dreamforce, and 1-2 visits to client sites each year is still nice when you're otherwise WFH.
Free hugs and cuddles 🥰
I've had the opportunity to work in different countries, and when I do it pays nearly double and I get extra holiday days :-)
I’m indispensable at a small company. Some weeks I have a literal hour of work to do for multiple weeks. Some days it’s a deluge of bullshit that never ends. The majority of the time I get paid fairly well to make memes, craft, and read.
lunch is included
Im not working and can't say I ever had all that nice a perk with any job. I mean wfh at times and if its located in the city its a nice city. I loved working in a research lab as it is just so interesting and varied. What cracks me up is places being like we are so much better than others but they are basically par for the course. Oh lots of swag from the research lab job to. Funny thing is I did not like to travel and always was good being at home base but may have ended up with more swag than everyone else because everyone would bring me some back.
