It basically gets the company off the hook when you leave the firm (they don’t need to pay you accrued PTO days).
In reality it’s never unlimited, you need manager approval for any day off. But overall you should get about the same days as similar companies.
Unlimited PTO sounds better than it is. You still have to get all the time off approved, and one friend described the approval process of his unlimited PTO as sessions of emotional blackmail. It's probably better to just have a set number of days and not play games with it.

Its ’unlimited within reason’… if your thought process is your going to take 70 days off this year, good luck… companies for the most part provide ample PTO… if there is something really happening, that would require more days off than PTO provided, there’s probably something bigger happening that we should have a conversation about… whether that’s a LOA/STD/LTD or some kind of accommodation…
I asked management about this before.
I still have to get the time approved, but was told to use my best judgement when requesting the time.
Probably depends on the nature of the job itself. If you’ll always be too swamped with projects to ever step away, then the FTO/Unlimited PTO thing is a scheme they crack to avoid ever paying you out.
Ask them how many days employees (in your specific role & seniority level) typically take, and what they do to encourage employees to use that time.
It could just be a healthy company that’s trying to simplify their accounting and demonstrate a level of trust/flexibility with their employees.
Pro
People take off less days
Plus the company gets to keep that obligation off their balance sheet.
