Thanks for the comment - I wanted a little more information about your work - did you have to search extensively/move a far away for this type of employer?

Also what kind of words would the employer use to describe these working conditions (looks like its beyond normal "flexitime" arrangements) so that others might find them too?

This is my first fulltime job, having just graduated in December and spending most of January traveling. It was actually the only job I got an offer -- it was near the top of my list of choices but I was still pretty disappointed. I probably applied to maybe 300 places over the course of a year, but after getting an offer (following an internship over the summer) I probably only applied to 3-5 places I was serious about.

The employer doesn't use any words to describe it, its just part of the culture I guess. Just get your work done, no one cares when you're in the office. We have a scrum meeting we're expected to attend and a few sprints meetings/allhands, but everything else we are free to schedule whatever suits us best. Initially I was a little disappointed about how little vacation time I was getting, but I've taken a few days off and have never been docked days from my balance.
