Fantastic company but hybrid stinks

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, pension and they do care about their employees

Cons

They are too uptight about the return to office as some of us are there and still do not "collaborate" which is absurd to make people go into an office when you can work remote and get more done. Open office concept is so distracting and not thought out well and parking is a nightmare.
