Does the idea of beer and video games in the office really bother anyone? Sounds great to me...
wouldn't you rather do that at home? or outside the office, at least? but since you're working 60 or more hours a week, I guess in the office is the only opportunity...
eh it's okay if you are 20 something and single. If your goal is to fill your office with 20 something single workers, it seems fairly effective..

My guess was the Google line and "Plan on working ~100+ hours a week during sprints. If that scares you, don’t apply." The 100 hours is a little extreme, but I've seen things similar to "If that scares you, don’t apply." in descriptions before.

From the first link:
> Plan on working ~100+ hours a week during sprints
And the second:
> A lot of companies equate putting in long hours with productivity. We think thats nonsense.

No, not really. I enjoy doing those things in the office.

Cracking open a free beer and playing COD on a console somebody else paid for at 5:01 PM on a Friday sounds fantastic to me. Working with people you consider friends is awesome, and this sounds like a great way to facilitate that.

You can have it both ways. I don't think older and attached people would be put off by that necessarily, you would just have to encourage them with other perks.
Re: Wanted: Ninja Rockstar Code Monkey Hacker Unicorn
#39I'm betting "Yes you’ll get all the usual benefits, but if you’re really going for perks, Google is your best bet! If you want to make an impact, then please apply." and "We’ll have a large variety of alcohol in the office as well as an assortment of video games for the perfect frat environment" are the two sentences from real job descriptions

Sounded great when I was in my early 20s. Now days, not so much.

30-something with kid here...
I enjoy cracking open a beer and playing some foosball with my team members before going home. I don't get to go to meetups as much as I used to and it's a good chance to socialize.
Also, as a manager it helps me keep my pulse on things. People open up after a beer. Foosball has become a problem... I've gotten really good and sometimes it takes some coaxing to get people to play... "hey, if you don't play you can't get better"
