Pros

Relatively good work/life balance. The offices/cubes people sit in are scattered, so your managers/colleagues won't notice what time you come in or leave.

Cons

Too much email communication or IMs. Since your colleagues/managers don't sit near you, they rely on emails/IMs so much, and it is very inefficient. Composing a sentence and explaining things in email/IMs can take 5 times longer than normal.

Advice to Management

Early birds who were hired in the early days (90's or early 2000s) have big titles and they do nothing. Just admit this fact and cut some of the useless people.
