Why does the WiFi seem to rarely go down at work, but go down at home all the time?

There are many many more devices connected at work than at home.

They are also using much higher end equipment.

At home, you probably have a consumer grade router, which is a router/switch/firewall/access point all rolled into a single device that cost maybe $100. At work, they are using _multiple_ discrete devices for each one of those functions, and each one of those devices probably costs between $500-$2500. Your home network cost you maybe $200 in equipment, while the work network could easily have cost five figures.

That higher end equipment is much more reliable.
