Pros
Work/life balance is good, I enjoy working with my co workers and drama is nearly non-existent. Lots of qualified people that actually complete their work assignments on time makes for a pretty happy workplace.
Cons
Return to office is completely unnecessary and follows the trend in USA of just forcing everyone back to the awful commute, claiming that it is needed because "collaboration". As if my team hasn't spent 5 years successfully not just creating, but innovating, while fully remote using Teams. Collaboration as an excuse for RTO is a huge industry lie created to extract more money from employees, putting it into the massive coffers of the gasoline and food industry. Deeply disappointed that we weren't offered the remote positions that they were talking about offering during the pandemic.
