Hello. Firstly, we are going to assume that your Pros and Cons are the incorrect way round and response with that in mind. Our remote working environment is one of the top reasons that our people join our company so it is no surprise so many sight this as a benefit. I am also going to assume you enjoy the travel which takes you to a new place bi-annually to meet up with colleagues to roadmap workflows and collaborate in person. We simply love these events and the energy that they bring. As we can see that you are still employed with us, we would encourage you to have a conversation with your manager if you feel that you require a better work/life balance so that they can help advise. It is certainly a suitable conversation for your 1:1 time so that some identifiable actions can be taken. I hope that helps.

Pros

Met some interesting people, had some interesting conversations.

Cons

Was constantly hearing bad stories about upper management. I only experienced the CEO expressing minor annoyance and paranoia a couple of times. My line manager always seemed to be treading water, fixated on dev-ops ceremonies, and didn't respect the opinions of his peers. The guy who was the "expert" for my field practised management by spreadsheet and was completely out of his depth, always obsessing about his approach to the work and inflicting his opinion on everyone else. Spent too much time having to plan for travel or hear about everyone's travel plans. Wasted so much time in the company's ongoing recruitment drive which pushes most of the work of interviewing and filtering candidates onto regular employees.
