We don’t discuss such topics in a typical recruitment process. Nor do we recognise previous experience in other companies. Vacation time is typically service dependent - and of course subject to local country policy, on some occasions additional salary sacrifice schemes are in place. Other areas of paid time off that are found in many counties concern employee volunteering.

Total company gives an overly positive view of results, but lower levels seem too detailed for the audience. Any insights into how to share the forecast accuracy results and what is considered good (e.g., greater than 75%) would be appreciated.
