Already boiled. They also used to be already peeled, which was convenient, but sort of odd. When they switched to non-peeled, there was an amusing off-topic thread that went around about the difficulty of peeling the eggs and suggested methods to do so.

Also, depending on the employee, perhaps, they paid for a cell phone line. I had a work issued iPhone 4S with an unlimited data plan. Of course, they took that phone back yesterday. :(

Personally, I also think that there was too much credence given to 'tried and true' strategies based on potentially incorrect assumptions from data gathering or perhaps not considering that formerly correct assumptions no longer applied in the new(er) world. Empire and Allies, Mafia Wars 2, and Hidden Chronicles were examples of games that eventually succumbed to this. At some point, the company seemed to switch over from genuine attempts at innovation to attempts to 'do what worked before.' I'm not sure how many games in the past year really had true A-B tests to try to discover new fun AND popular ground. The company excelled at data gathering. Data interpretation and understanding of gaming psychology could have used improvement.

To add to this, after the previous round, the 5% cut, they seemed to give reassurances that that was a one time thing for the foreseeable future. I'd think that the remaining employees are a lot more wary, now that they've seen what can happen.

There was also vegetables (celery, carrots), string cheese, baby bells, yogurt, and I think cream cheese or something in the fridges. I'm going to miss the occasional specialty beverages that were in the beverage fridges.
