Having at least some flexibility regarding working hours and location seems to be a disproportionately big win for me. There are few more frustrating things than being in an office at 9am on a lovely day when I'd rather be walking/cycling, even when I'm not really in the middle of something and nothing is on fire. I'm actually going to be more productive for the day if I go for a walk, mull things over, and perhaps sling some code in the evening. Flexibility and keeping synchronisation points reasonably infrequent is far more important to me than reducing overall workload.
