I work for a big corporation and work from home roughly 4 days a week. I go into the office for that other day just so I have some human interaction (And to make sure the people who sign off on my invoices know I am still around!) I generally work normal business hours and I am definitely much more productive at home than in the office. A lot of my work involves writing documentation or complex scripts, the types of things where you need to "get in the zone" and all of a sudden you realize 5 hours have passed and you've forgotten to eat. In the office it's hard to focus like that as everyone around you is talking about football scores, people are on conference calls with the speakerphone on etc. I don't think it works for all types of roles, but for me it doesn't really matter where I am. I work on servers remotely, I dial into conference calls and communication between team mates happens over IM/Email. I have worked for employers in the past where they had the attitude of "If you're not in the office, you're not working". I think that is a very poor attitude, especially when you are dealing with IT workers who are expected to be on call.
