It's almost always awful. Unlimited PTO to me has meant no PTO. Companies that offer this most the time will make you feel like shit if you actually ask off. There never seems to be a 'break' that PTO would fit nice into, there's always a "But this needs to be delivered on Tuesday. You can take those days off as long as you deliver." type of deal.

Of course it's not always the case; my current gig has unlimited PTO and doesn't seem like assholes if you take it. It can be nice, but it has been co-opted by shitty startups to save money and drain their employees.
