I was not a high level employee but since I agreed to do some work overseas I will put down the one that I liked the most...
Free housing... I had an apartment in the center of London... within walking distance to the Queen... this lead to me traveling around the UK and some parts of Europe for the 14 months I was there... I still had my house so it was not a big money maker...
Then, more free housing... after that assignment they requested me to go to NYC, so had a nice apt in Manhattan where I could walk to work... enjoyed the life experience living in NYC and not having to pay for housing... But, 9-11 happened and I was the buildings come down out my window... they moved work over to Jersey and eventually moved me to the upper West side... that was very interesting...
This was cheating a bit, but my boss agreed to do it... I was able to fly home once a month... but if I found a ticket somewhere else that was cheaper than my ticket home she approved the costs.... so I flew to Europe a few times on long weekend holidays...
BTW, never made a lot of money while doing this, but I did have fun....
