However, one Chinese IT firm has reportedly broken the mould by offering up one of the possibly most controversial bonuses ever.
According to British newspaper Metro, Qihoo 360 awarded its "Employee of the Month" with a night with a famous porn star.
The company in question is Qihoo 360, which hit the headlines after an employee posted a photo of the monthly awards for successful employees, listing a Porsche and a trip to Bali as well as the event night with Julia Kyoka, a popular Japanese porn star.
The awards are intended to celebrate successful employees ahead of the Chinese New Year, set for Feb. 19.
According to Yahoo News, the award has been pulled off since the news spread out on social media.
Qihoo 360 is a company based in Beijing that operates in Internet security. It claims to be "a leading Internet and mobile platform company in China," working with almost half a billion active users per month.
Earlier this month, Qihoo 360 had allegedly spent £11 million for purchasing the rights to the domain 360.com, the highest figure ever paid for an Internet domain.
