Does your PE firm have flextime policy prior to COVID?

As per question, does your PE firm have flextime policy prior to COVID? Does your firm have a specific time period that requires you to be in your office, and after that are you able to set your own schedules to finish your tasks at your own pace (incl working from home)?

If not, do you think your firm will embrace this policy after COVID?

Our partners are typically in the office from 8:30-6:30, and they expect everyone else to be there when they are. Outside of that, no one cares where you work from as long as it gets done. I’m typically home by 7 (though I continue working for a couple hours after that).
 

On days where the partners are out of the office early, I may leave around 4:30 or so since my office line auto-forwards to my cell and no one really cares. Big caveat though - even when you’re out of the physical office the VPs and Principals want you to be available if they ping you, so some people stay in the office just because it’s easier
