Sometimes, a good salary just isn't enough.
To attract the best talent, companies have to go the extra mile by offering cool extras their competitors don't — and the quirkier the better.
Job search website Glassdoor has rounded up the top 19 UK companies with the best perks and benefits.
They can range from just about anything: free holidays, massive discounts, gyms, food and swimming pools.
As the testimonials prove, many workers will tolerate less pay if other perks and benefits fill in the gap, and potential employees are actively put off by companies who ignore important extras.
Scroll down our list to see which companies are offering the best perks and what employees had to say about them.
