Pros: I appreciate the hybrid model; we get a few WFH days a week. It helps a lot with balancing personal life, especially avoiding the daily commute into the San Francisco office. For a Software Engineer, it's pretty standard, and my team lead is understanding about needing to shift hours sometimes.
Cons: The "flexibility" often means being available pretty late sometimes, especially for engineers supporting global teams. It's not truly flexible if you're expected to log on after dinner. Also, they're pretty strict about the required in-office days; you can't just skip them easily.
Advice to Management: Really commit to true flexibility, not just a hybrid model with hidden expectations. Trust your Software Engineers to manage their time without micromanaging in-office days.
