When I worked as contractor I was flown out to an office in London. They paid for all the tickets and hotels for two weeks. They said it was critical to have us in the office. After the first 1 hour introduction meeting I never saw them again. Massive waste of money on their end but I had a great time experiencing a new country and even took a weekend trip to Brussels which was awesome.

When we had an acquisition of a major European company we had multiple people from our team flying to Paris, Budapest, and some city in Switzerland multiple times per month for the better part of a year. What a time to be alive.
