"Many companies, especially rapidly growing startups, make the somewhat false assumption that cultural wins come from superficial perks. Games rooms, zen gardens and branded loot (from skateboards to iPads) are all dangled enticingly at candidates, subconsciously suggesting ‘We’re a fun place to work’." This isn't really a false assumption. For potential employees just coming out of college, it's a great perk. For people that have been in the industry for 10 years, not so much. I generally just want more vacation time or better pay.
