Our company experimented for 4 months and found productivity is much higher and the only people who were unhappy were the managers. Our CEO jokingly said while the devs have become more productive after about 3 weeks he had no idea what managers were doing. Except managers everyone was laughing pretty hard. In my experience working in about 4 companies managers are the gatekeepers for not allowing WFH.

In my experience the short term is a great boost as it improves morale, but over the long term the lack of team spirit and the innovation factors go down.

But if you guys started in person, that means you all live close. Do you meet up once a week or so? That might be enough to bend the curve to successful.
