What great company benefits do you get?

[Streetrod]

I have recently joined a new company and I have been made to feel most welcome.

But what I find unusual is the lengths the company has gone to make this company a pleasant place to work. Apart from the fact that my office is based in a grade 2 listed manor house with views across a wonderful garden with the river Thames at the bottom of it we also get:
• Our own beautifully maintained golf course
• A grass football pitch
• A games room with pool tables and an Xbox etc.
• Plus the use of the companies ski chalet when I go to the Nordics

What less common benefits do you enjoy in your work place?

What industry is this?

An Enterprise software company.

And by the way I forgot to add the:
• Cricket pitch
• The best car allowance I have ever had
• An amazing restaurant which only costs £1.70 for a very nice cooked lunch and 80pence for a full English breakfast
• Free coffee
• Various salary sacrifice deals including cheap gadgets and a cheap car scheme
• Plus a bunch of other stuff too long to mention

I think this is why we have been voted one of the ten best places to work in the Fortune 500 for the last few years

Here is a pic of my office:

6weeks holidays + bank holidays
14.5% employer contribution / 40% final salary, missed out on 66% by 10 days.
Excellent Salary + Bonus
Rent paid for, based upon my girlfriend living with me = they pay me more (tax free)
Travel in Business all over the world


And in my opinion the best two;
the ability to move to different country's without knowing the language (as long as you speak English!)
Never work weekends / shifts / OT etc (haven't worked a weekend since I was 22, so 6 years now )

Now that is sweet, my pension is decent but no where near that

My employer pays ~29% pension, I pay 6%. Reading through this thread makes me realise how good that is.

38 days leave rising to 41 in 2018 also seems to be pretty good. Currently work 184 days a year.

Are you an MP??
