Depends on the industry, I suppose. My experience from interviewing and first hand employment experience is that most finance shops in Chicago offer at least a free lunch. Some also offer hot breakfast and dinner as well. (Sometimes dinner is left overs from lunch, depends on the shop). I've only worked in one trading shop that didn't offer lunch, but they were small and out of the financial district. I briefly contracted at a shop that even extended the free lunch me, even while on the clock. Outside of finance, I dont have any direct knowledge. This is over 15 years of working as an FTE in either trading or financial services as a developer.
