I agree. Free drinks are basically worthless--to the point of it seeming like a desperate come-on. Free food just means, "You are expected to stay here for lunch and talk business." The big questions are:

1. Money, benefits, vacation.

2. Do I get an office?

3. How much time do I spend fixing other people's bugs?

It's funny, the importance of a office cannot be overstated, yet most of the start-ups I've seen are militantly anti-office.

Number 3 really resonates with me. :/
