While Glassdoor’s survey found that pay and compensation was the number one consideration for 76 percent of respondents, high salaries aren’t everything. Employees indicate that they have access to additional perks, both traditional (subsidized healthcare plans, 401(k), holiday pay) and more startup-y (free food, game rooms and on-site dry cleaning).

Here’s a closer look at the top 10, with a full list below:

1) Google: Perks include free food, massages, offsite trips to places like Vegas and Hawaii, and a flexible work schedule, although according to one senior software engineer the company environment is so outstanding that “you don’t really want to leave campus.”
