I have been working from home for the past 12 years. Some was for a company with about 1000 employees, with about 5% working from home. The second was with a company of about 100 employees again with about 5% WFH. Now I am working for a start-up where the founder has decided that for now everyone will work from home.
Although - I traveled frequently including back to HQ in the previous jobs I always felt a bit out of the flow of the office relationships. It is nice to be in a situation where the WFH is the norm. If we succeed in some substantial way I expect that the founder will establish a physical office in the greater Boston area - but I know from talking with my co-workers who are in that area they will not be very willing to put a significant commute back into their daily schedule. I suspect it will end up being an office for the founder, a big conference room for group work and some flexible open office workspace that people share on a rotating or as needed basis.
