All of the things you listed are pretty normal at any company large enough to have enough HR/administrative staff to spend the man hours setting them up and managing them. I'd say most BigCos have 75% of the stuff on that list.

Officially sanctioned, company provided, perks are generally pretty good in tech because there's not many other perks to the job. In the blue collar world often are able to take advantage of your employer's capital investments and/or waste so long as you don't abuse it (daily drive your company truck, stay late to use the machine shop for personal projects, heat your home with discarded pallets etc.).
