Disclaimer: not an intentional fully onsite to fully remote conversion, but a gradual transition of existing and addition of new, fully remote members. - People miss socializing in the office. We've addressed it by actually drinking coffee and chatting on camera for about 15 minutes after the daily. Also considering regular team-based video game sessions, though the question here is whose time they're on (the company isn't too excited to fund weekly counter-strike time and team members aren't to happy to spend their free time to improve work relations). - Daily meetings become way more valuable, as you can no longer just turn to people and go "Hey, Julia, what was that flaky integration test you were fixing yesterday?". It takes a lot of adjustment to figure out when it's worth interrupting people and when you should just write something down and ask on the daily. - It's more difficult to effectively manage people. You notice everything on site - sighs, high fives, facial expressions, keyboard rattling, all the things that can help you recognize whether people are happy, stressed, bored, productive etc. Being remote, you need to develop processes to get that information "manually" and in a way that respects your team members (i.e. without constantly breathing down their necks).
