Kind of disheartening to read that (most) of the comments here diverted away from the topic of Basecamp's travel guide, which shows a lot of character from this company.
A company composed of a lot of remote workers outside US that definitely goes out of their way to have their employees come into the US for their business meetings is a keeper.
On a side note, I am a bit confused on a questionnaire asked at the Customs:
Here to do work? Nope! Here on business, meeting with Basecamp.
Wouldn't this be under the discretion of the customs officer to determine whether business meeting qualifies as work? I suppose that being on a business meeting with your company still predisposes the fact that you are technically still paid on those days that you are meeting with your company?
- talklittle 9y agoThe work vs. business question is simpler than that. Business = working in US for a foreign company. Work = working in US for a US company. Presumably Basecamp has set up business entities abroad. https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/2272/about-different-types-of-visas-for-business-vs-work-in-the-u-s https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/2272/about-differ...
