They gave some additional holidays around memorial day and July 4th, I believe, and then we are closing our offices the full week of December 27th.

No - but added a few extra days (dont think this will be sustainable after we return to the office though)

Curious - I've had "flex vacation" (ie no set number of days) for a while now. It hasn't changed the number of days I can, or do, take off. At Bain (or BCG for that matter) do you find you actually take all of your available days?

I’ve never had a problem taking days off.

Added ~8 extra vacation days this year, but no change to PTO itself.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.
