I was significantly more productive in that huge open office than at home, even when the rest of my team was in a different office. Open offices are significantly flawed, but productively working at home is tough for a lot of people.

All depends how you measure productivity as well. I write more code when I work from home, but lines of code don't necessarily correlate with "useful productivity", since it's entirely possible to work on an epic project that solves no useful problems, or the project fails for other reasons.

A company with an open and communicative culture can be more productive remotely than located in prem. I also believe an on prem company that has a communicative and open culture can be more productive than a remote company.

However, you can’t deny the benefits of going remote if the above is a wash depending on the company.
