Pros: I really appreciated the work flexibility here. As a Software Engineer, I could usually manage my schedule, even working remote from Austin, TX. The unlimited PTO policy helps a lot too, though I sometimes felt guilty using it.
Cons: There are definitely times when work-life balance suffers. During product launches or critical sprints, it's common to put in longer hours. The expectations can feel a bit much sometimes, making it tough to really disconnect.
Advice to Management: Try to set clearer boundaries around "crunch" times. Encourage teams to actually use their PTO without feeling pressured.
