Yeah haha but the issue is that almost no firms match, so its usually not a choice.
I haven't heard first-hand of any that match, but I'm sure there are some. The place where I interned this summer doesn't match, but two or three percent of your pay automatically goes into your 401(k). It's your own money they're depositing, but there is a slight advantage in that it counts as an employer contribution, so it doesn't count against your $18,000/year personal contribution limit.

I count it as a negative. My fat ass doesn't need 24-7 access to regular Coke.

Having better than K cup is a perk

Cafeterias are lol. It's a trap to keep you there with dog food.

Fenwick stocks Mexican Coca-Cola in the video game room (XBOne, Wii U), next to the Miss Pac-Man arcade game.

The firm I SA'd at didn't have any perks. The most egregious thing to me was that they made everyone (well, SAs, associates, and staff, no clue about partners) pay for their own parking. Everyone drives there - it's not a city where you can take a subway or bike or something. It also bothered me that there was no 401K matching but I don't think that particular issue is at all unique to my firm.
