Pros

- Friendly coworkers - Interesting work - Decent pay

Cons

- Regression back to mandatory in office days. The overall consensus is people aren't happy with this change so it is baffling that we're going backwards. It seems being in the office is more important to the highers up rather than what employees actually want.
