(high energy rock music)

[Narrator] Last year the average salary

in Silicon Valley was over $195,000,

even interns can rake in upwards of six grand a month.

The fight for top tech talent is brutal

so companies ply their employees with endless perks

on top of their impressive salaries.

Let's look at the seven most ridiculous perks at Facebook.

Number seven.

They've got gourmet food courts

and private chefs across campus,

serving everything from smoked pork shoulder

to kale and quinoa.

And all of it's free.

My gem, when I first started, was the BBQ Pit.

That was ridiculous, it's so good.

The brisket, not the healthiest thing, but pretty delicious.

Oh, and the noodle bar.

[Narrator] And there's always this giant room

full of free local organic things to eat.

Number six.

Imagine if you could get in better shape

at work than at your local gym.

Sorry Ron, moving our meeting to four, I'm getting huge.

Oh rock climbing wall, I didn't even see you there.

This is Mark Zuckerberg climbing the rock.

Don't be silly, Mark's climbing walls are in his backyard.

We do a few different things here.

We have open climbing time that's free

for employees or interns.

We also do some classes where we teach people

and instruct people on rock climbing techniques.

[Narrator] Number five, notice the abundance

of eye candy everywhere you look.

If you need to let out some stress before a conference call

and paint some happy little trees

just go to the Analog Research Lab.

We have silk screen facilities.

These are all resources for employees and resident artists

alike to come in and express themselves.

[Narrator] Number four.

Man it's hard walking across the office.

Fortunately Facebook has bikes, lots of them.

If you get a flat, stop by the bike shop and get it fixed.

The cost?

Just parts.

It's really convenient to hop on a bicycle

provided by Facebook and to,

to kind of roll up and down campus.

It's way faster than walking.

[Narrator] Number three.

(piano plays)

By far my favorite benefit, would be the music room.

It's a common space, it's like a dream come true.

(electric guitar plays)

You can actually come here, within two minutes,

and play something, kinda think about stuff,

solve the problems in my head,

and then go back and implement them.

[Narrator] Number two.

No need to wait in line for an over priced, crappy haircut.

Just get an artisanal trim at the on campus barber shop.

Number one.

No one can mess with you for using Facebook at work.

Everyone at Facebook spends a lot

of time on Facebook every day.

I'm on Facebook 27-seven.

If I'm not driving I'm on Facebook.

Actually it turns out that Facebook's

a pretty powerful productivity tool as well.

[Narrator] Facebook has thought of nearly everything

but what's missing?

For somebody like Ted Gigs massaging my shoulders.

I'll take a drone, I feel like a lot

of people are getting drones these days.

I wish every employee could have their own drone.

I would love to have a little

cricket stadium on campus somewhere.

I would definitely have to say a swimming pool.

[Narrator] Ah see, they don't have everything,

though rumor has it swimming pools are coming next year

when Facebook adds a new Frank Gehry

addition across the road.
