Remote work can be good if the managers have really strong communication (and psychology) skills and technical ability. My experience of remote work is that a lot of managers are naturally distrustful and have a tendency to set very short (unrealistic) deadlines (to make sure that they get all of the employee's hours) - This forces remote workers to either work crazy hours or rush things and produce lower quality work. Over time, the managers become acclimatized to the lower quality code and their expectations for development speed go up. The number of bugs in the system increase and developers spend more and more time fixing other people's bugs. The ironic thing is that fast developers tend to get all the new features while the cautious ones are the ones who end up having to fix the bugs (produced in a large part by the fast developers).
