Pros and Cons of Remote Work

Nandini S Hinduja - Dec 3 '23 - - Dev Community

As a person who works remotely for most of the month, I have observed some pros and cons of working remotely. I have listed them below.

Pros of remote work:

  • Flexibility: You can work anytime and from anywhere.
  • Work Life Balance: You can spend time with your family and engage in activities which interest you.
  • No Commute: You save time on travelling to and from work. You also save fuel and protect the planet from air pollution, noise pollution, etc. Plus you save money.
  • More time: You have more time to work on yourself and your side hustles.

Cons of remote work:

  • Procrastination: It is easy to procrastinate since no one is watching over you.
  • No sense of community: You don't see your colleagues in person and might lose touch with them. You won't have a feeling of connection with your colleagues and peers.
  • Isolation: You might feel isolated since no one is working around you, they are all working from their own homes. So you feel alone and unmotivated.
