Pros: I've enjoyed the work-from-home policy; it's great being remote from Seattle and setting my own schedule most days. For software development roles, the day-to-day is pretty flexible, which helps a lot with personal appointments.
Cons: Sometimes the "flexibility" means unclear expectations, especially for a growing startup. It can be tough to coordinate with teams across different time zones when there aren't core hours, which impacts productivity.
Advice to Management: Try to set some clearer core collaboration hours, even for remote teams. It would help for sprint planning and just general team syncs.
