More cons:

- the company restaurant closes at the normal time (or all good stuff is taken)

- you still get that condescending look from early-birds

In tech, it is people who work late who act superior. Early birds have it rather harder as they are seen as leaving early even if they objectively done more work.
I am an early bird and there's definitely a weird expectation to stay later than 8 hrs plus lunch.

I definitely never got any bonus points for being at work before my boss.

How can you act superior if the early-birds have already left?

In contrast, early-birds act superior while you are there.

The overlap is exactly the same. Just purely by math and rules of physical space.
