I've seen the pros/cons of working from home. At my current job I can choose whether to work from home or not. Some days I'll spend the whole days at the office, some days I'll spend at home, and sometimes I'll do half and half. I like the "half and half" strategy because it gets some time in for the organic discussions that happen and the office and time for serious work that is better with silence. Tried working from home for two weeks straight, and I just got cabin fever. Ironically it may be more difficult for introverts to work from home for long periods since they may be less likely to try to maintain contacts outside of work. It helps if the workforce is really distributed. Before, a few on the core team were in the office, but the other lead on the project was in a city about an hour away, and we had others working out of two other states and Nova Scotia. Now, I'm separated from a different team by a few time zones, and the only ones in the office are new to the team, so I expect to be working from home more. It's also mostly open-source work, so I wouldn't interact with most collaborators in-person anyway. Regardless of personal pros/cons, it's good for an organization to allow work from home so that they get access to a larger talent pool. It may be harder with a startup, but that's just speculation on my part.
