Unpopular opinion: I find most office gimmicks which have been popularized by FAANG companies are stupid.
I don’t care about pool tables/videogames/nerf guns, I find these things fun but I’m not 9 therefore I don’t need them at my workplace, I can take care of myself so I don’t need mindfulness seminaries, if I get interested by the topic I’m able to provide myself books or seminaries and don’t get me with the salary I get every month and don’t get me started about the trend of office dogs: most dogs needs a lot of attention and are high energy animals, that’s not what I would need around me when I’m making an urgent bug fix.
Luckily my company hasn’t got into this shit and understands which all an adult professional needs is “just” a good pay and a good work environment.

    I'm under impression, but it could be just me, that they will spend money on almost anything (any gimmicks) just to avoid increasing salaries.

    I agree, just let me fucking work. If you want to do something nice for me, finance a training of my choice, something I wouldn't afford as an individual, something that leaves a trace in my CV. And afterwards don't ignore the knowledge it brought on a principle of "not changing something that works".

    But availability of good food is a must.
    By good I mean it should serve both foodies and health conscious people.
