> unlimited vacation

Hahaha. Unlimited vacation actually means vacation only when your manager feels like it - which could be less than you'd get under a fixed vacation allotment. Many such cases.

When something sounds too good to be true, it is.

Right, but if the culture is no one works the last week of December the manager is probably going to allow it, at least this year.
The manager themself is likely going to take advantage of it too. Of course, there are enough Salesforce or former-Salesforce people in this thread stating how things actually are there (don't expect most people to be available most of December) that we don't need to speculate about how things could be or how abuse could still happen.
