I work in the defense sector. "Our specifics" there is a lot to say about. One of the favourite themes of agitators for work with us is getting an apartment from the company after ten years of work.
Here too is specific. There is free housing, yes. Only it is not ten years, but closer to retirement, if you do not resign and never argue with the boss during this time. And after ten years of work you get the right to buy an apartment in a house built by the enterprise, at a discounted price (once and a half below the market). And depending on whether your interlocutor knows about this detail, you can judge whether he is naive or a bastard and a manipulator.
