It's sad because I really like this company for other reasons.Mathematica applies expertise at the intersection of data, methods, policy, and practice to improve well-being around the world. Self-care is mental and physical health and we're not getting adequate self-care with 3 weeks vacation for a year of work. With 21 PTO days, the company is essentially making us choose between true self-care days and planning for unpredictable sick days (the anxiety around getting COVID and having to take valuable PTO days to recover is REAL). Doesn't seem like many of my older full-time colleagues travel much and when they do, they are perfectly fine with working/"checking in" while vacationing.
Since most of leadership are 40/50+ with children, it doesn't seem to be an issue for them, so improving the PTO benefits is not something they are considering. Many of my friends here (in their 20s and early 30s) feel the same. I know I'm not alone in how I feel about the PTO. We just have one PTO bucket and 8 holidays.
There are no separate buckets like other companies (sick, personal, vacation, etc.). We essentially work ~240 days for 21 days of PTO. However, the PTO benefits here are not good at all. I'm a younger, childless employee that really enjoys traveling. But I've been strongly considering leaving as of late.
