It can work well, but I think it comes down more to the your manager/org than the overall company (assuming we're talking about a large enough company for there to be disparate orgs). We have unlimited PTO and I think I took 7-8ish weeks last year—including spending pretty much all of November in New Zealand. Nobody had an issue with it. OTOH, I know of people in the company who struggle to take more than two weeks. During my last job search I would point-blank ask the hiring manager how much PTO they and their reports took in the last year.
