Full disclosure: work for PlanGrid
If you are in the bay area, you might want to take a look at PlanGrid. We have a diverse culture which we're proud of, value work-life balance, and still build cool things that make a difference.
- cballard 11y agoFrom your jobs page: > Unlimited vacation days If a candidate requested a firm six weeks of accrued PTO, would that be granted?
- matt_wulfeck 11y agoMy CO also offers unlimited vacation (though they are careful to say it's actually "untracked vacation"). In my experience you can always try but there's a certain amount of unspoken personal capital that's involved that makes the whole process unnecessarily ambiguous.
- cballard 11y agoYes. If you really care about work/life balance, just offer six or more weeks of real PTO. I internally translate "unlimited vacation" to "as little vacation as possible".
- MAGZine 11y agoIt's something that could be negotiated, I'm sure. Personally, I'm interested in minimum vacation policies instead. The founders do reiterate frequently that 5 weeks is expected.

- matt_wulfeck 11y agoFunny you mention PlanGrid because I grew up doing contruction and considered the company. I remember being much more satisfied with my work back then... A fundemental difference I see is that a project is started and then finished, not started and then kept on life support until V2 can be started. Alas your company is in the city and I prefer the valley.
