Depends from case to case. It might be a complex project, but the lead/architect already has the right answers and there will be smooth sailing. On the contrary it might be a project with constantly changing requirements, new portions of tech stack for all the team, tight deadlines, some tool chosen for a task does not support something, bugs, estimations did not meet reality. In that case (a challenging project) I would prefer the team in the office. Also if you are a begginer, I would recommend to search for work in office if it works for you. I dislike commuting more than half an hour, however I would like the team to be together if it's something challenging. I know it is hard to commute long time, especially if you have other responsibilities, but that does't change my opinion on what is the best for the team.
