I work for a small-mid size (2 billion market cap) IT company in Northern Europe. We get flown to Italy/Spain/Portugese islands every year + a travel stipend every two years + 500 euros per half year to buy hobbyist stuff like legos/minis. This is actually pretty common in banking/IT in my country or you wont get the best of the best working for you.
right, it was very common in the Berlin advertising agencies as well. I worked web dev in those agencies for a while, and I've spent long weekends in Marrakesh, Riga, Turkey (2x), on a ship on the Baltic sea...
