Do investment banks still do cool stuff for FT analysts?

I have heard in years past that analysts would receive Patagonia, company-branded duffel bags, networking events on yachts etc... Do banks still do this kinda stuff for analysts? Incoming FT analyst this summer so curious if banks still give cool company swag and do dope networking events. Thank you!

GS currently has free breakfast (bagels, coffee, etc), lunch (at the cafeteria, but honestly, solid ass cafeteria with a rotating menu), and dinner with a second allowance past midnight. Our Ubers to and from the office are also comped. A bit lacking on the HHs, Trips, Free Merch, at least in my group in IBD but a lot of that is due to COVID. If we're playing the "oh we can't come into the office due to safety concerns" can hardly expect to get free drinks and trips haha
