For work that needs a lot of coordination between workers, or for mentoring new people, in-person is helpful. When I was a new engineer being able to work closely with more senior people was really helpful, both from a technical perspective and from a perspective of learning culture and expectations. With more senior people and work that mostly involves sitting by ourselves, remote has been incredible from both a comfort and a productive perspective.
