That unlimited pto can be worse than limited, you still have to ask for time off and now they act like you’re not entitled to take it.

I’ve had set numbers of PTO days. I’ve had unlimited PTO.

Set days are better (if it’s a good number of days).

With unlimited PTO, there’s always the assumption that you’re available all the time or you can move your planned trips around because “hey you can always take some true uninterrupted time off later”. That time never really comes.

Pretty awesome here. Unlimited PTO. Your health coverage is paid for. 401k.

Honestly, Deloitte bought us and the benefits are DEEP. 4 insurance options (all great), 401k match and pension plans (unheard of and translate to about an extra 20k salary per year over a career), nearly guaranteed bonus (unless you’re fired), lots of PTO, 5 months maternity/ paternity... that’s just off the top of my head.

Unlimited PTO is the worrrrst. Especially when they lay you off, don’t get paid out for any vacations days... because you never had any to begin with 🙀

I have 31 days of PTO this year (yes 5 are carry over) and I prefer this 100000% more than unlimited.

Edelman’s are quite good. I just counted and realized I could take between 45-50 days off a year. We get a ton of holidays and the whole week of Christmas to New Years we often just close. Very good health insurance for only about 145 monthly for a single individual. 401k matching at 5% - pretty good. There’s a bunch of other small bennies that add up too like free parking at certain levels, some accounts get free public transit or discounted, fitness reimbursement, weight loss reimbursement and some other significant stuff.

If any agency touts many lifers, I have found that their PTO policies are garbage but the work life balance is generally a little better.

I've worked a few places with unlimited PTO and 72andSunny was one. They were miserly to a fault with letting you take days. The other shop I worked at, I would work my ass off on nights and weekends to take PTO like crazy. That was a fun year.

Most shops I've worked at, the health insurance has been close to completely paid for.

I hate how most shops don't have their 401k match vest completely until after 4-7 years. It's not enough of an incentive to get me to stay when I can take a $15-20k pay raise to go somewhere else every 2 years.

Unlimited PTO or a very generous vacation day allotment (IPG shops might be the best) is the best perk.
