Also please post your experience on Glassdoor.
- itengelhardt 10y agoHey, zorked, wake up :-) Balsamiq offers mandatory vacation: 20 + 9 holidays + unlimited. I hope that is reasonably close to your 25 mandatory + unlimited. I think it's great - plus they are an amazing bunch of people with a smart & likeable boss.

- tedmiston 10y agoMandatory vacation is an emerging trend in tech, you just won't see it at startups.
- Silhouette 10y ago...in the US. As others have noted, almost everywhere else in the first world not only expects but legally requires far more vacation time than many US firms offer their employees.
- tedmiston 10y agoGood qualifier. I spent some time earlier this year scoping out the tech scene in Wellington, New Zealand and Melbourne, Australia because both have so much more emphasis on living a good life. I wasn't able to find much startup activity in those two cities. I'm not sure if it doesn't exist or if I was looking in the wrong neighborhoods.
- guitarbill 10y agoWas looking in Melbourne also, but there doesn't seem to be that many online postings for such a big city. Did you look in Sydney and if so, was there more?
- tedmiston 10y agoI didn't look in Sydney, but only because I haven't been there yet.
