sent abroad for conferences or to do workshops with other teams in other offices (if you work for an international company)
My employer was like this when I started. It was a growing company that wasn’t too big yet, so it had the culture and perks of a startup, but without the downsides of being too small. Even as regular ICs, we got to travel internationally at least once a year to attend conferences or visit our offices in another country. We were also able to attend training abroad. We were eventually acquired by a very big company with all the bureaucracy and red tape and now all those travel perks are all but gone.
