Pros: I really liked the flexibility of working from home. As a Software Engineer, I could set my own hours often, which helped with appointments. The remote-first culture is genuinely good, making it easy to collaborate across time zones on the global HR platform.
Cons: The biggest downside is the blurred line between work and home. It's tough to stop working when your office is literally your home. I've often felt like I was working more than 40 hour weeks, especially with different team time zones. Sometimes, it felt like a startup grind without the clear boundaries.
Advice to Management: Encourage teams to set clearer boundaries for communication outside of core hours. Maybe implement mandatory 'no meeting' blocks to help people disconnect.
