Beyond a quiet place to work (which I have) and decent management (which I have) I'm really not fussed about perks.
My boss insists I don't work over time (and if I need to do anything on a weekend I get the time back in lieu).
So while yeah they are basic perks I'll take no perks if I can have the above every day of the week.
For me as a programmer, 9-5 Mon to Friday every week, week in/week out is perfect - Work/Life balance is the best I've ever had since I moved to working as a programmer full time.
