The biggest perk for me is the ability to hit that bong in a middle of work day, while watching weird ass japanese hentai with my surround sound home cinema.

Depending on your company culture, you could do that in the office as well. In some companies I worked at, weed brakes were an everyday occurrence for engineering, but gamedev in general and Tel Aviv in particular are a bit different from the usual white-collar office culture.

Though I'm sure the hentai lunch breaks aren't on the list of perks at even the most relaxed of FAANGs. No idea though, I'm pretty far removed from that world.

Strip-clubs for corporate events were a staple in gamedev for a long time, and in many companies still are.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but how could you possibly be productive after that?

It really depends on the type, certain strains can make one more productive potentially. At least that's what I've heard from others.

Going along with the other reply to this comment, there are a select few individuals who can handle low/medium doses of sativa strains and be shockingly productive.

I use it for focusing on purely creative works, but I definitely can’t use it in a professional setting.
