I think that a companys ability to do full remote heavily depends on its culturenas the article also points out. I worked for Red Hat for ~2.5 years as an engineer and not once have I been to an office or even met anyone else from the company. However, my manager for most of the time was an old school RHer and really treated work as work and had his social life outside the company. We got a ton of work done in that time with a minimal amount of meetings. I've also been in teams/departments that were heavily concentrated in certain offices, had a tendency to hire from that area, or needed frequent offsites. The people in those departments were much more pf the sociable kind, spent much more time in meetings, even when doing so remotely. They also tended to do much less in writing. Working remotely and in a documentation-first fashion was a lot more difficult here, but given their line of work (closer to the customer) this is not exactly surprising. It doesn't work for everyone, if you want a remote company you, you have to hire and organize accordingly. YMMV.
