Free items and perks in IB?

Hi - I’m a first year and I’ve been working from home since starting IB, so I don’t really know what it’s like.

say you’re working with a tech or consumer company - If a deal closes or something so you get products? Free tickets? Free events? Closing dinners? 
 

what are the perks...besides the $$

At my bank, I've had to plan the closing dinner...so I don't think the company usually does it. I haven't received free stuff from the companies we've worked with. The deal toy, lucites/tombstones etc are really it. I don't count the dinner.
