Great people. Good work-life balance. Opportunity to learn.

Sense of low growth potential.

Salary is not competitive compared to bigger companies.

No full remote.

Coming back into the office should be optional, not required. I understand you want to promote culture and take advantage of the building, but consolidate the floors and offer remote work to those who want it.

Culture can still be maintained by having quarterly in-person meetings or something along those lines. In-person work doesn't improve productivity for many employees.

The world has changed after the pandemic, and we must accept and embrace change, not try to reach the old normal.

When upper management asks employees in a "candid conversation" what happens is that groupthink and peer pressure give a higher rate of positive feedback for the in-person push. Only those who are bold will step up and express their true feelings.
