A healthy office culture and team members to collaborate with. I go to the office because interacting with my coworkers in person is enjoyable and I learn new things faster through those interactions. It helps that we also have free coffee and snacks and the commute is less than 10 minutes but I primarily go in because of the people I work with.

Wait you guys are allowed to work remote full time?
Already am back in the office 3 days a week. One is mandatory.
Never left. Doing NOC, and occasionally have to kick some iron, so my team has to stay in the office.
I've never worked in an office but it sounds like hell.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I work as an IT guy for a small business (6 people total) and I honestly prefer working in the office:
- it's easier to focus, I'm much more effective than when doing work at home, despite 95% of my work being possible to be done remotely
- I like most of the 5 people I work with
- I prefer separating life and work: I go to the office, do the work, go home and don't think about it until the next time I'm over there. I wouldn't like to associate my apartment with the mundane tasks I sometimes have to do for work
Also the commute isn't bad because I live in a well-connected district in a European capital. It's a 12 minute door-to-door bus ride for me, I don't even bother driving.
Nothing. Been working from home for 4 years and wouldnt go back for nothing.
Okay, maybe if we had 2 pizza fridays a week.
