It's all about time zones. US east to US west is 3 hours. It's fine.
When there are people in Europe, Asia, Russia, Australia, it gets a lot harder.
The criticism is more about working across time difference than just remote.
P.S. Mentoring is always required, unless you only hire the most experienced people you can find. Communication is always required, unless you work on trivial problems.
Out of curiosity, what do you work on?
- sotojuan 10y agoThen saying "remote doesn't work" is unhelpful. How about "remote doesn't work when it's across different continents"?
- Baeocystin 10y agoEven then, there are exceptions. I (in California) am currently working on a small project with a couple guys in Australia. Between the three of us, there are eyes on the servers 24/7 without needing to worry about getting woken up in the middle of the night, and there's always someone available to answer questions from our clients. It's great.
