1. myWebRoom

myWebRoom is a social platform, allowing users to express and organize everything they’re passionate about in a beautiful way. One of the best perks of the growing startup is that staffers aren’t locked into a 9-to-5 mentality. Since everybody can be connected wherever they are, myWebRoom’s team members are welcome to work from home, or wherever they need to be, in order to produce their best work.

They also enjoy unlimited vacation time, plenty of team outings, and free meals and rides if they have to stay at the office late.

Other than the food perks, Plated is committed to helping employees achieve their personal and professional goals. The company often covers the costs of skill-building classes and workshops and offers unlimited vacation so staffers can relax and recharge.

5. RepEquity

Quarterly outings and internal team lunches aren’t the only perks at RepEquity (although they’re certainly awesome).

7. Yext

When Yext’s employees aren’t helping businesses manage and expand their digital presence in online maps, directories, and applications, they’re often found ordering free food provided by the company’s corporate Seamless account. The Yext team gets a daily allowance for both lunch and dinner, and they frequently pool their Seamless money to order office feasts. And perks don’t stop there: Staffers also enjoy an in-office kegerator, karaoke machine, and game-filled “fun room.”

8. ThoughtWorks

ThoughtWorkers are always looking for opportunities to learn and share ideas beyond their daily responsibilities of providing revolutionary technology, consulting, and software delivery to global clients. The company’s weekly “Hardware Hacklab” allows ThoughtWorkers to do just that. On this day, offices open their doors to enthusiasts who bring in the latest hardware gadgets, and employees have access to everything from Oculus Rift (a virtual reality headset for 3D gaming) to 3D printers.

9. Stack Exchange

Stack Exchange’s employees are regularly celebrated for their hard work in building expert question and answer communities for online information seekers. But they’re especially celebrated on their birthdays with the company’s “birthday boxes” tradition. The treat includes a personalized meal and a party package filled with special treats prepared by office chefs. And don’t worry about that post-meal food coma: You can curl up in one of the office’s many nap rooms, where employees are free to catch a few zzz’s any time they’d like.

10. Axial

Axial’s platform was launched with a mission to connect business owners with expert financial advisors and reliable capital investors in order to grow, finance, and sell companies. While each team member plays a critical role, Axial doesn’t want employees to be restricted by their job descriptions. Therefore, the company offers employees stipends to spend on any educational courses of interest, in-house workshops led by industry experts, and engineer-taught developer classes.

Oh, and stock options, seasonal parties, catered lunches, and unlimited vacation, too.
