Great vacation policy at Microsoft. Three weeks during your first six years, starting day one. Plus two floating holidays. At six, you get four weeks. You can roll over as much as you can accrue in a year, so if you took nothing one year, you could take six weeks the next. Managers are generally very good about employees taking vacation time.

Pretty good. 3 weeks is average, with an extra week for every 5 years served up to a max of 6 weeks a year. You also get 2 floating holidays and 10 sick days, so it ends up being plenty of time off.

Most teams have an unofficial unlimited time off. I always found if you are reasonable about taking time off nobody cares. This was true on teams where I was adored/did well and teams where I was being managed out.

Everyone gets 3 weeks. It's non-negotiable in most cases. You get your 4th week after 7 years and 5th week somewhere around the 13th year.
