Unsurprisingly, some Nintendo employees received free video games and sometimes got to get their hands on games weeks in advance. The developers publish a number of video games each year, from Mario to Pokemon titles. Ellis said: “That was really nice and allowed me to play games I may have been on the fence about,” and Yang said she felt “spoiled.” Not just games, but when it was hard to get a Wii or Switch, Nintendo helped their employees get free consoles in some cases as well.
Yang shared Nintendo has two properties; one in Hawaii and one in Canada for employees to vacation. Nintendo holds a monthly lottery, allowing lucky winners to vacation at either house and only pay the taxes.

Yang revealed some employees got fired for misbehaving at the Hawaii house. “It’s not like these are better or worse than what you get at typical companies, but it definitely was unique,” Yang said.
