Pros: The hybrid model is a big plus; I could work from home two days a week. For a mid-sized tech company, that's solid. It really helps with avoiding the San Francisco commute sometimes. Flexible start times were also often okay if you coordinated.
Cons: The WFH policy isn't always consistent across departments. Some engineering roles feel more pressured to be in the office more often. Deadlines for software development projects can suddenly kill any flexibility you had. It feels like you're always on call sometimes.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize the WFH policy across all engineering teams. Make sure managers don't override the company's stated flexibility too often. It would improve morale for Software Engineer staff.
