Pros: It's nice that Propeller offers a hybrid model, with a few WFH days a week. As a Software Engineer, I appreciate not being stuck in the San Francisco office every single day. The company is a growing SaaS startup, so there's always something new to build.
Cons: The 'flexibility' often feels limited; you have to be in the office on specific days, which can make planning tough. There's not much wiggle room for personal appointments during core hours, even for remote work. For software development, more asynchronous work would be better.
Advice to Management: Really listen to employees about work-life balance and true work flexibility. A hybrid model is a start, but allow more autonomy in scheduling WFH days for engineering teams.
