I have been working from home for the past 2 years.<p>Pros: I save an insane amount of time due to not having to waste my time commuting. Even a 10 min bike ride takes much longer in reality since you have to properly dress, come in, out, settle down, prepare etc... So I have much more free time.
Also no distrations is 10/10. We have an open office and the distractions cause a severe drop in my productivity.<p>Cons: connections, and I'm not talking about "nice to see a human face" or that kind of mundane-waste-of-my-time-BS-water-cooler-conversionation.
I'm talking practical things: business connections for example can only be done face-to-face, there is no denying that "many businesses/connections get done during the smoking break"
