I've had pretty good luck with unlimited PTO but it was less the company and more having good managers and being privileged enough to be able to walk away.
Congratulations to Microsoft employees on your new four day workweek. Oh, you can't take every Friday off? Why, that would imply that it's not "unlimited" so much as it is "a scam to not have to pay out unused PTO when you depart the company."

Replying to @deech
ultimately, this is it. You get a lot of folks with IC experience complaining about unlimited PTO, but this hangs on the assumption that your manager is a bastard and won't let you take vacation when you need it
