With some anecdotal exceptions of teams and persons that are more effective remotely (though I haven’t yet met ones personally), on average remote _team_ work is considerably less productive for the whole range of reasons. Whether you like it or not, but we people are wired to work better in an organized group with tight physical proximity to each other. And most of the hi tech companies deal with large multi team projects. It’s a different story that many managers like waste in-person time on pointless meetings and thus making remote work look better because developers can finally have some focus time and deliver on complex tasks. So remote team work can definitely be better than poorly organized onsite one. But be careful to generalize such observations.
