Does anyone here get unlimited PTO? I’m interviewing at a company that offers it but unsure how it would actually work in practice

I think more and more companies are calling it "flexible PTO" these days, since it’s clearly not truly "unlimited." From what I’ve seen, there’s usually an unspoken rule at these companies discouraging employees from taking more than a set number of days per year—often around three weeks—before requiring additional approvals. Another downside is that if you leave the company (or vice versa), you don’t get paid out for any unused PTO.

Just really depends on company culture. You could ask them if they have minimums, and how much most people take in average

My current job has unlimited PTO. During the interview, I asked what the company average was and they said 3 to 4 weeks a year. I'm in my 6th month there and just from a 2-week vacation. I'll say most companies offering unlimited PTO usually have a “recommended” amount. Anything beyond and they start to question your performance. There are rare instances where companies do truly mean unlimited.
