The Perks category I think is essential and seems to be things that should suit your lifestyle. I think it is important for a company to identify lifestyle needs and help with anything they possibly can. After all it is you and your co-workers lives that time is taken out of so why not make it beneficial to your life and what you want to accomplish.

Sounds like Transparency is a huge part that motivates you and keeps you clear headed about what you are working towards. It is really important for a company to respect that through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It also sounds like good friendship and being real with each other goes hand in hand with transparency. Which I would totally agree. I think that employers just being nice to keep you working for them is "minionizing" and not how people should ever treat each other.
