I was similarly skeptical about `Unlimited PTO` companies, but I am currently working at a tech startup in NYC with Unlimited PTO (we don't track time off) where the norm is for engineers to take about 4 (sometimes 5) weeks off a year. The workload is high, but it's very common for engineers to take a week off after a big, stressful project is delivered. Because the norm for vacation is set high, I don't feel bad about taking as much time off as I feel I need. It really helps that our CTO also takes at least a 2 week vacation every year and takes time off for himself when he needs it. Having said all this, I am not too optimistic, in that I don't believe this situation is very common in the industry.
