Pros: For some teams here, the hybrid model works pretty well. As a Product Manager, I could usually arrange my schedule if I had an appointment or personal errands, which is a big plus. It's nice to have that option in a big tech company like this.
Cons: Flexibility isn't universal across this online travel agency. Some managers in the Shanghai office really push for you to be onsite more, even if your role allows for remote. It really varies by department, so it's not a consistent policy across the corporate structure.
Advice to Management: Standardize the hybrid work policy across all departments and trust teams more with their scheduling. Clear guidelines would really help everyone, especially for employees in roles that aren't strictly client-facing.

Pros: I've been able to work remotely as a Software Engineer, which is great. It's a big tech company in the online travel agency space, so there's always interesting projects. Some managers are genuinely understanding if you need a little flexibility with your hours.
Cons: The hybrid model really favors the onsite teams. Remote staff often feel like an afterthought for meetings. There's pressure to align with HQ hours, making work-life balance tough when you're in a different time zone. WFH policy isn't super clear sometimes.
Advice to Management: Really think about remote employees when setting up meeting times and project schedules. A clearer, more consistent WFH policy for everyone would help a lot with retention.
