I think taking 4-5weeks off spread out throughout the year is the best way to do it. If it is being abused your manager will speak to you about it. The best thing about unlimited vacation policy is that all your days off are PAID. Most companies will only give you 2weeks PTO. But imagine getting 4-5weeks off PTO. Thats how I see it.

It is as good as advertised if used correctly.

They say the same thing about birth control. Yet, real world stats consistently differ markedly from "if used correctly" stats.

In the US, hardly any software companies offer less than 3 weeks vacation to new employees. I've never heard of 2 weeks.
This makes me think of ISPs and the whole conundrum with their false definitions of unlimited. How do you abuse unlimited?
