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.
