Pros: We have a pretty solid hybrid model here, which is nice. As a Software Engineer, I get 2-3 WFH days a week. It really helps avoid the San Francisco commute sometimes, and that's a plus in the tech industry.
Cons: The work flexibility is there, but it's not always easy for engineering roles to fully utilize it. Sometimes you're still expected in the San Francisco office on WFH days for 'critical' meetings. It feels like managers don't always trust the remote setup.
Advice to Management: Trust your teams more with the hybrid model. Not every meeting needs to be in person, especially for software development. Support for truly remote work or consistent hybrid policies would improve employee morale.
