"Unlimited PTO" Is A Lie + Micromanagement

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Kept busy with work and encouraged to take on responsibility and expose yourself to more of the company's work areas.

Cons

They say they have "Unlimited/Discretionary PTO" but it is a lie. They say to "follow the old system" which means 15 days a year, take more than that and your manager will be questioning you. They also require you to count the number of PR's you have reviewed and the time it took. They also say they follow an "agile methodology" but they poorly implement the scrum methodology e.g. keep increasing scope to the same story throughout multiple sprints but reprimand you for carrying it over.
