Ask HN: What are unusual perks of a job?

Companies often offer perks aside from wages, common perks in the Western world include:

Company Computer

Phone service

maybe paid lunch (in Denmark my experience is not because of, as I understand it, tax rules)

in the U.S Health Insurance (also in European countries but as an add-on, not an all-important employee lock-in device)

Banks often have low interest rate loans for employees.

Other stuff people can think of? And also if you know anything about how particular perks are used by companies, tax-wise or studies on how they affect employee retention/enticement please let me know.
