Are You Smart Enough to Work at Googleからの引用です。
In Silicon Valley, outlandish benefits have about as long a history as tricky interview questions. Hewlett-Packard was one of the pioneers, offering free snacks, and expensive gifts for newly weds and new parents. Many of Google's perks were cribbed from other companies like Genentech (the informal Friday meetings) and Facebook (bring your dog to work).
"crib" は名詞の囲いの付いた幼児用ベッドしか知りません。辞書を引きます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: Copy (another person's work) illicitly or without acknowledgment.: he was doing an exam and didn't want anybody to crib the answers from him

・Collins Dictionary: If you crib, you copy something that someone else has written and pretend that it is your own work.: He had been caught cribbing in an exam.

・Cambridge English Dictionary: to copy or take someone else's work: I sometimes wonder what TV show he cribbed that line from.
幼児用ベッドからは想像できない意味ですね。
