Big tech companies are offering fewer lavish perks than they once did.
But there are other businesses that offer workers some pretty great extras too.

Big Tech companies are famous for dishing out lavish perks to their employees, but many have scaled back on these amid the economic downturn.

Meta, for example, cut $1,000 off its health and wellness benefits for its employees this year. It's also stopped offering its workers onsite laundry services, slashed its Lyft subsidy for staff in the Seattle region, and pared back its snack and cereal offerings during the pandemic.

Google has also cut down hours for its onsite cafes and started limiting employee travel to "business critical" trips.

But there are still companies out there offering workers some great perks, both in the US and abroad.

From surf breaks to digital detox cabins, here are some of the best perks on offer right now.

Outdoor clothing company Patagonia helps its employees stay active by offering them fitness and yoga classes, climbing lessons, and even surfing lessons.
