Having a team in a different timezone from the main cluster of office timezones can be a win for ops-related activities, but I've found as an employee it risks work-life balance because people want real-time help (example: UTC+8 workers asking questions to UTC-8 workers). I've explored switching to a smaller company like Notion, but it seems offices everywhere is becoming the norm, so it's difficult to find roles that don't require cross-timezone collaboration.

You get the global distribution while, I imagine, also having the respect to work hours since the company started with that distributed structure. I can see remote-based companies becoming more of the norm, especially post-pandemic, rather than multiple-location startups/corporations.
