Considering accepting an offer with Google. PTO policy for employees is 15 days / year for the first 3 years. Maybe I’m just spoiled, but this seems low for a tech company. Snap has unlimited PTO- and yes- I am able to utilize it without negative effects. Any Googlers want to share their thoughts on this? Do you miss not having more PTO? Can employees “get away” with taking more time off?
I don’t like unlimited pto. With real pto you can get a payout if you quit with a balance
Not low, standard at my last two companies for first 3 years.
Well actually there is unlimited PTO if your manager is willing to give you that. My previous manager did not have issue with me going on a vacation for more than a month as long as I am able to complete rest of the stuff.
How common is this? What about work from home?
Google is very flexible on working remotely, you can take advantage of that
Plenty of flexibility. Wouldn’t worry about it
That does seem low, especially for senior ppl
