Yeah but once you've spent some time on a team there and are trusted and respected, all that stuff becomes pretty negotiable.

  That's what I'd hoped for at Google, and my manager would have been fine with me being remote. However, my VP did not allow remote work. We even lost out on having a fairly famous guy work for our team, because he was unable to transfer a deal he had with his current team where he could work 3 days at home (in Pleasanton, so the commute to Mountain View was terrible).

    I'll never understand the anti-remote-work stubbornness, especially in obvious cases like that. The VP really expects talent to commute from Pleasanton, daily, when they could just work for any other of the Bay Area tech firms remotely, at an equal salary and similar benefits?
