Ask HN: How important is workplace image and perks to you?
How much does it matter to you that your workplace has a pool table, beer in the fridge, free food, motivational posters on the wall, an Xbox games room, pinball machines, a chef, beanbags etc etc?
- curiouscat321 10y agoNot all of those are equal. * Pool table, Xbox, pinball machines, beanbags: Whatever * Motivational posters: I don't really care. But, if a company consciously chose not to have posters as a cost-saving measure, run. Again, stuff will be on the walls at any company. * Beer in the fridge: Again, whatever. You could read a lot into a company's culture depending on their alcohol provisions + alcohol consumption. * Free food (and a chef): This can be a legitimately useful perk. It saves you time, is more convenient, can be healthier, and grows team unity.
- pixpop 10y agoNone of these things is of any importance to me. I would not consider them when applying for a job.
