Would you leave your firm for a startup that pays more, almost no travel, and unlimited PTO? The downside being it is very small and not well known. Worth the risk?

Those are great theoretical points, but not sure that they manifest themselves practically. From personal experience, people with unlimited PTO love the policy. The pressure, judgment, etc. seems to come from company culture - which comes independent of the PTO policy. Happy to be corrected

Mind sharing the name or anything else.. 😬

How much are they paying ? Are they well funded ? How long ago was the funding ? What are they Into?

Read this article recently and thought it seemed counterintuitive. With the info you stated, I'd give it a whirl.

"When the software firm CharlieHR was founded in 2015, every employee received unlimited, fully-paid holiday days, no matter what role they filled. Yet last year, chief operating officer and co-founder Ben Gateley announced the policy was being scrapped.

One key reason was that staff were simply not taking the time off they were entitled to. “Putting a numerical limit on holiday time has a counterintuitive effect,” Gateley explained in a blog post on the company’s website."

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
