Look, I get that. I don't credit roosters for sunrises either. Let's not go down that road.
It's just not a selling point for me, and not appealing when used as such ("Come work here, we have great snacks.") Usually accompanied by claims of "unlimited vacation" and "a fully decked out Macbook Pro." I understand that these things can also exist in an environment where people are treated like adults (e.g. given responsibility, trusted to do their work, given privacy and space).
I would, of course, rather know more about the actual work environment. This information is just hard to obtain unless you personally know someone at the company - someone who is willing to talk candidly about it. Occasionally, a company makes puts such values front and center (e.g. 37 Signals). I was hoping to get more examples.
