Pros

- Opportunity to work with some incredibly talented colleagues - Excellent work-life balance - Great development opportunities - Good pay and benefits

Cons

- Old-fashioned approach to WFH: The expectation that all employees will still work from the office at least 60% of the week going forward is a bit absurd.
