For myself, I realized perks like free food and laundry service are nice to have but are not the reason you stay or move.

Things I'm looking for now are attitudes towards professional and personal growth, contributing towards a meaningful goal, and people I enjoy working with.

What are some thing you're looking for when searching for a new job?

I'm trying to collect a list of questions for companies similar to The Joel Test for software. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html
