While I agree, it's a huge culture shift. I fought traffic to work at a few places in LA where much of the work could have been remote. At both places we had a remote office, but coordination was terrible. Some people did work remotely, but many times coordination was worse than remote teams. Part of it was culture and part of it was that there weren't tools to facilitate remote collaborative work; one side didn't have phones at their desk, there were 2 or 3 sanctioned chat apps, poor tools for remote meetings (and nothing for small, ad hoc meetings). When I brought up the friction between locations, they focused on the tools to copy data back and forth--ignoring the communication issues.
I don't have all that much experience with remote work, but I'd prefer a company that started around remote work instead of being a remote worker at an established company.
