Small but well-known NYC startup. Disliked the policy strongly, and nobody would give me a ballpark of vacation to take when I interviewed and after I joined. There was a huge discrepancy in how much vacation people took, which left some feeling resentful. A couple more senior employees took 4-5 weeks a year; most people did 2 weeks, with some pushing it a little more - 2-3 weeks. Anytime I asked HR, they encouraged me to "take as much time as I need", but the work was nonstop, and my manager wasn't happy anytime I took time off.
