20 vacation days starting and slowly increase with time in company. Use it or lose it with option to carry over 5 and use within the next 3 months.

Cons

It's a hit or miss with management.

Applied for an internal transfer and they tried to keep me in the same salary and position, when the position I applied to was above. For example, trying to go from SWE2 to SWE3 but keep in SWE2 salary.

So unfortunately, I'm looking elsewhere now.

Advice to Management

If you are asking for a minimum of, say, 3 or 5 years of experience, and actually are thinking of wanting someone who has 8 or 10 years of experience, then state that in your application and don't mislead or lie.

This will stop many applicants from applying to positions they don't want and prevent hiring managers from getting candidates that might qualify but are dissatisfied with the compensation due to pay grade expectations.
