One problem you see a lot in biotech, is that "bio" and "tech" tend to form separate poles of the company, and there is little cross-contamination between the two. I[0] think being on site is an important counterweight to that phenomenon. I think it's what has made us successful so far.

We've been doing a lot of remote work during covid and I have definitely noticed the decline of water-cooler solidarity. We still do hire remote engineers and data scientists, but only in cases where they are the literal top of their field.
