There is a massive gap in productivity between someone who has been in the company for at least an year and someone who just joined, esp. right out of college. For the latter, WFH is probably the worst option. There is no easy way to ask questions, get help, build the social relationships needed to succeed in the company, get watercooler updates, meet with their manager for 1:1 (communication is more than verbal and video calls).

They showed me not only what was going on in the company and the code, but also how to communicate remotely. I'm sure not everyone has that same experience, but that means there are problems with team communication, not with remote communication.
