Hi all,
Will be joining there in couple of months. They list it as one of perks but I am curious how it works? If it is truly what it says then I fear there must be many who can take unfair advantage of it.
Thanks,

I can't speak for every team, but on the team that I'm the TL of, there's not a lot of process - I only ask engineers to give me a heads up in advance and find a replacement if they're scheduled to be on call.
The previous company I worked at had accrued time, and I wouldn't want to go back to that. I found it extremely stressful trying to allocate time off during the year. At HubSpot, I don't worry about that - if I need a day off, I take it.
I think if you use common sense when taking time off, you won't have an issue. Make sure your team knows the current status of your issues before you leave, don't do a Friday night prod deploy then leave for a week, give your TL as much notice as you can, etc. The people I've seen abuse the time off perk are ones that are already underperforming in their role for other reasons, i.e., poor communication, technical skills not up to par, etc.
