Pretty much yes. Wake me up when some company announces you have 25 mandatory days off a year + unlimited extra days. Then we start to talk.
Also please post your experience on Glassdoor.

Balsamiq offers mandatory vacation: 20 + 9 holidays + unlimited. I hope that is reasonably close to your 25 mandatory + unlimited. I think it's great - plus they are an amazing bunch of people with a smart & likeable boss.

As others have noted, almost everywhere else in the first world not only expects but legally requires far more vacation time than many US firms offer their employees.
I spent some time earlier this year scoping out the tech scene in Wellington, New Zealand and Melbourne, Australia because both have so much more emphasis on living a good life. I wasn't able to find much startup activity in those two cities. I'm not sure if it doesn't exist or if I was looking in the wrong neighborhoods.
