Former company had an unlimited PTO policy. It was a mess. Apart for the hidden threshold other people mention, I had several direct reports in different countries. Each country had a legal vacation policy... and out 'unlimited' PTO didn't took that into account.

When I joined the company one developer had no vacation for more than eight months. She was Russian and was relocated to a country where she had no relationship... si she just worked. That was a huge liability until she took one week off to interview and left then company one month later.
