It makes me really happy to join a technology company and find beer in the fridge, people playing ping pong, sleep in sleeping pods, frying up BBQ at lunch, and playing basketball. Not because these things are inherently fun. But because, it's a message from management that says the following:
1. We hire such a high caliber of employee, that they would never consider abusing the perks we've given them.
2. Congratulations on finally getting to the top 10% of the best places to work.
3. People here are smart on many levels, not just book smart. They realize the value of maintaining a flexible mind and body.
4. We are all like minded in our pursuit of excellence. We are so productive that we have plenty of time left over to enjoy the perks, after succeeding at our jobs.
5. The company is successful financially, and would stop at nothing to satisfy and retain its employees.
This of course results in people giving back more, and feeding this cycle.
