How not to write a job post

Oh, I want to know the perks, because that tells me the culture.

If the perks are a gym membership and free transportation pass, it may be my kind of place. If tney mention ping-pong tables and game consoles in their lounges, I know I should run away screaming.

(If you are half my age, you might reverse those.)

I agree about needing to know the culture. I don't care about perks because I'm interested in the work and the culture. Job ads use the perks as the main justification why you should want to work there. I can find my own gym and transportation.
