I'm not the GP, but I've been working remotely for 5 years as a software dev. About 1/3 of the devs in our org are remote.

  Does that work out for you? I have not enjoyed being on the remote Minority of a project. Very easy to miss watercooler convos and totally be off tangent. People need to be very slack-first for the remote people to stay looped in.

    Remote works best when the entire company is remote. It needs to be embedded in the culture IMO. Or else the remote workers often become isolated from the rest of the company.

    It works well for us and is very much a part of our culture. Of the people who work out of the office, I'd guess that only half go in on any given day. Basically all conversations happen in our chat client and all meetings are in Google Hangouts. Email or Google Docs are used for things that need to persist or be searchable in the future. We do insist that, in general, you work more or less in a US timezone so you're available for "face-to-face" meetings and standups. That hasn't been a problem for anyone yet.
