I worked for a large company that had a somewhat flexible policy (if your manager allowed it, you could). I found that on the days I was working from home, I could get a lot more done. I was more relaxed, and highly productive. I didn't have to go through the morning ritual of chit-chat, coffee, etc. etc. Having said that: I also saw how it was being abused. There were some colleagues who were working side gigs while working remotely. If it's a highly specialized area, then it's hard for a manager to make sure you're pulling your weight. There were some stellar remote workers; and there were some total slackers. Just like with anything else in life, it's a mixed bag.
