Do you think unlimited PTO is a red flag? My husband works in tech and has unlimited PTO but it never truly seems “unlimited”. Does anyone have an opposite experience or agrees that it’s a red flag?

Yep! From my experience that is a huge red flag. Also, when you leave there is no pay out if you never used vacation days. I prefer the accrued vacation days because you are entitled to those days in a calendar year, and some may get rolled over into the next year. If you leave a company those accrued days are normally paid out as well. I think unlimited pto is just a way for companies to circumvent the system

Such a good point! I didn’t think about the no pay out issue

I’d say depends on the employer

True!

I don’t think unlimited PTO is automatically a red flag, but it depends a lot on the culture. If people feel guilty taking time off or managers quietly discourage it, then it’s not really unlimited. Personally I'm not a big fan of it.

Agree! I can definitely see it being a pro at some companies that use it correctly
