Pros

For those who are lucky enough to work remote, that is a huge advantage to have over those who report to one of the major offices. Although there are some advantages to reporting to HQ or another major office, I think the benefits far outweigh the freedom and flexibility of being a remote employee.It also depends on what department you are in. If you are in something such as info dev or under the support umbrella I would say that there was more micromanaging going on then let's say maybe or sales engineering or dev/engineering.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging in certain departments. And also constantly having to explain yourself and your work to management, as a tenured employee, this is quite frustrating.
