I recently quit my old job which was desperately trying to claw employees back into the office (first 1 day a week, then 2, then 3) for a fully remote role. It's been a breath of fresh air. My new team is spread all over the country and yet everything runs so much more efficiently compared to my old employer.
They do have a small office available in case anyone prefers that environment (or perhaps their home isn't suitable for remote work) but there is no expectation or requirement to come in, other than a suggestion that each team meets face to face maybe a handful of times per year, if only to get lunch/drinks together or have a social day.
It's working out great for them as it lets them scale the number of employees they have significantly while not spending any more on commercial real estate.
