I recently worked at a "no vacation policy" aka unlimited vacation company. Anecdote is not data, but here are my experiences: - Like many startups, people did not take much vacation. - It was probably cheaper and certainly easier for them not to reimburse you for unused vacation. - When in my second year I proposed taking a second trip (two weeks off total) I could sense the disapproval. I'm a reasonably senior person and taking two weeks off a year does not seem like that much to me. - Vacation was sometimes the precursor to giving notice. People knew they were leaving, so it became safe to take a vacation and then give notice at the end of it. I would avoid companies with this policy.
