Which FANG so I can avoid?

Maybe a majority of big tech. Following is from quick news searches. Those in the know please correct if you want and if you're allowed. Facebook: local employees are expected in the office "at least half the time." But Zuckerberg is quoted elsewhere as saying he thinks a majority of the workforce will eventually be remote. Remote pay is adjusted. Do not know if employees or teams can just arbitrarily choose that setup. Apple: 3 days in the office (postponed 1 month) Amazon: 3 days in, 2 days at home as "baseline." Netflix: 9/2020 articles suggested bringing everyone back full time. Hastings was quoted then as being against home/remote including a joke that he though the RTO deadline should be "12 hours after a vaccine is approved," with the serious followup thought to be after a majority of their employees were vaccinated. That was a year ago and things are more relaxed now; it sounds like it will be voluntary in the near future. Google: "hybrid" 3 days in, 2 at home for local employees. Some fraction of the workforce will be remote. Extending to honorary FAANGUM: Uber: 3 days in, 2 at home Microsoft: different "hybrid." Microsoft seems to be the only one of the group to have committed to generally allow employees to choose? reminder those may all be outdated, this was a very quick search. Aside from Apple all the articles were written pre-Delta in the US.

  I joined MSFT as a manager 18 months ago, and honestly think their remote policy is one of the better ones out there. Up to 50% remote time with no approval, up to 100% with manager approval. This of course is modulo legal / right to work if you’re moving countries. I’m not in the US and we’re trying to hire a lot of SWEs right now, and really trying to leverage this for our hiring. I only have a small number of teams, but we’ve all been remote since April of last year and it has been working well, though I think people are keen to get back to the office for the social aspect. Those that wanted full remote have already gone that path.

    Do you have any advice on applying to msft? I'd love to work for them due to their products and now even more so due to their apparent support for fully remote work.
