  I was onboarded with 3 other colleagues, while the company was fully remote. I'm fully integrated into the work and company culture. I love my colleagues and get along great with them. I don't undertand this "you can't build relationships over Teams" sentiment. Have people forgot about online gaming? There are millions -- I'd wager a billion -- close friendships that started (and maybe stayed) fully online. The bar for colleague-level acquaintances is much lower.

  Slight counterpoint: Productivity is really high, but having basically zero relationships with my co-workers is isolating, and I work best when I have a commute and a dedicated working space.

    I worked remotely for over six years now so my 2pence: >I work best when I have a commute and a dedicated working space. I sometimes have this urge too, thankfully renting out an office space is fairly cheap and can be done quite flexibly for when you need, and most importantly -- WHERE you need it. Otherwise having a dedicated home office is great, but I understand that it might not be so if your family/living situation is different. >having basically zero relationships with my co-workers is isolating It doesn't have to be this way, you absolutely can make long lasting and very meaningful bonds without ever seeing a person. And productivity wise, it is all about processes and culture, both office and remote can work wonderfully or be a disaster.
