Pros: I appreciate the hybrid model here at Arkana. As an Architectural Designer, it's nice to have WFH options a few days a week, especially in the Chicago office. It really helps with personal stuff without burning PTO.
Cons: But let's be real, client deadlines for big architectural projects still mean late nights. Sometimes that 'flexibility' just means shifting your 10-hour day around. It's hard to truly disconnect even with the hybrid setup.
Advice to Management: Keep pushing for better work-life boundaries, even with the hybrid model. Support staff in disconnecting after hours more consistently.
