Eh, I used to be full remote for 5-ish years, but for the last 2-ish, I've been going in 2-days/week. I like that schedule, since I get to actually be with my team in person. I find it's a lot easier to collaborate because you can easily tell if someone is busy, whereas chatting someone can feel like an imposition.
We have a very flexible work policy:
We don't have a formal policy other than it's expected to come in these two days/week and occasionally other days in certain circumstances (e.g. our CTO comes to visit, we fly in remote team members, etc). That happens maybe 2-3x/year, it's really a non-issue.
If I had two otherwise equivalent offers where one was full remote and the other was 2-days in office (close commute), I may end up taking the second, just because I find actual value in face-to-face interaction and think prioritizing that promotes good work culture. But I'm fine with either, so it's not a strong preference.
