Hey Googlers, I’m at a team matching stage and was wondering about PTO policy at Google. How strict is it? How many days of PTO does Google offer? Can you take more than assigned amount and go unpaid perhaps? Does it depend on team/boss? My current company offers unlimited PTO so it’s going to be a bit of an adjustment for me. I’d appreciate any info. Thanks so much! TC: $190k
20 days a year, plus all the major holidays. After 5 years it's 25 days a year. You can go up to negative 5 in PTO. I've also taken unpaid time off before (about a week worth), but you usually run that by the manager first.

Why does leetcode get so much hate?
How much of your “unlimited” do you actually take? Google has three weeks vacation policy for new employees. That’s pretty generous. I haven’t felt pressure to not take vacation but I have felt pressure to not take all together. You can also borrow vacation from future so that is not a problem.
Thanks. Usually take 5-6 weeks and there were no questions or comments that it was too much or too little so that’s what I’m used to.
Won’t be able to do that. Certainly not in first couple of years
