Depends how lucky you are. There is a guy who works in upper management and he has the privilege to order new equipment for his office, which is all expenses paid by the company. He built a gaming computer complete with neon lights and four monitors right in his office.

Nothing like the senior partner at this law firm I consulted at who got conned by his son into getting the a bleeding edge gaming rig for work "because he'd need it for multiple monitors and video calls" so said son could scavenge it from his dad in 3-5 when the business life cycle demanded a new computer. I did not make any friends (as someone with a vested interest in the firm's success, also the son is an entitled dick who's never had a job) with the son when I told the partner that a plato like he bought could last him a decade with proper maintenance.
Absolutely no corruption in private industry tho the invisible hand takes care of it
When I think of corporate corruption, I think of cooking the books, lobbying the government, bribing, or even straight up harassment and assassination. But in this case, I don't think it's corruption. If the company has enough cash for extra perks, why the hell not.
The waste and corruption in private industry is mind bogglingly huge compared to the public sector.
