Have been remote for quite a few years, even before the pandemic.
The things I hate are: Less clear border between work and private time. Not a lot of social interactions. No possibility to go for lunch or have Friday drinks with colleagues. No face to face one on one meetings (Zoom meetings work, but it's not the same). It can be boring and hard to focus. Meetings are bad, video calls are worse.
But overall I very much like remote working. Mainly because it's much more flexible, you can schedule work around life. Prepare a healthy lunch. Do some chores during the day. Blast music. Work from bed if you feel like shit some days. Go to the gym in between work. No forced distractions (you can mute notifications). Save a lot of time on commuting. Work anywhere in the world for a company anywhere in the world. Have company meetups, travel to interesting places (at least pre pandemic that was a thing).
