Pros: I liked the hybrid work model. Being in the Houston, TX office a few days a week and working remote the others was a solid deal for my Project Engineer role. It offers some remote flexibility, which helps with personal appointments.
Cons: The big issue is how much flexibility depends on your direct manager. Some teams are way more strict about coming in. As a Project Engineer in the energy sector, there's also an expectation to be onsite more for certain projects, limiting true WFH.
Advice to Management: Management needs to create clearer, company-wide policies for hybrid and remote work. Letting managers decide totally makes it unfair. Standardize it, especially for roles like mine.
