Then you're not looking very far outside your own bubble, because as someone like OP who doesn't have the pleasure of working in top tech companies in silicon valley, I never had free coffee at any place I had to show up at.
Heck, even being paid decently at those places was far fetch let alone all those perks.
- cvhashim 5y agoYou’re deep in the trenches if you’ve only worked in places that don’t even provide free coffee and teas.
- joshmanders 5y agoNo, I live in a place where the claim to technology fame is "We have an IBM support office here, we're a tech hub!" Heck the biggest thing tech wise to come out of my city is founder and former CEO of GitHub Tom Preston-Werner being from here.
- joshmanders 5y agoTo elaborate the biggest "tech" company I worked at where I had to show up was John Deere. They had coffee, but it was just a Starbucks directly in JDIS (the "department" that handled software dev) and you had to pay to get a cup.
