My firm is quite lenient when it comes to offering work from home flexibility. How is it like at other consulting firms when you’re on the bench? Is there an amount that becomes “too much” and is looked down upon?
It really depends if you are on a project or if you are on the beach. During projects we are allowed to work from home from time to time on Fridays otherwise we have to be at the client's site. When on the beach it really depends on who your partner is. Some partners are travelling and don't care others want to sit with you and work with you from the office. It is always better to ask.
When I'm on a project, usually I can work from home on Fridays, but I might go in. When I'm on the bench it's pretty much all from home.
When im not traveling i usually work from home one or two days a week. How that is looked upon depends on the team. Some teams are expected to be at the office every day. My team is more flexible on that that.
