I then take the chance to investigate, and check if "would that fit my problem?".

It lasts 3 months in the summer, and - as the name suggests - you get in the working week a paid day to do what you want. It was the first time for me, and I have to admit I really enjoy it. Actually this perks was among the decision points that push me to join the company, and I think, in retrospective, it was very successful.
