Could give Scrooge stinginess lessons
Pros: The work can be interesting but they will make sure you never run out of it :-(
Cons: Google might give free meals but IBM makes you  pay for hot water to put your teabag in!

You can expect arbitrary expense freezes  to impact productivity and morale recently they held and awards ceremony where the certificates were presented unframed because the framing budget hadn't been approved.  

Travel expenses are nit picked by jobs worths in the Phillipines who are prepared to waste hours chasing receipts for tiny amounts.
