I think the most important aspect in remote working is not only whether the company believes in a result oriented culture or not. What gets ignored, is that a lot of knowledge is embedded in the culture. Like a random conversation in the hallway or how someone reacts to a crisis. What remote workers also miss is the level of energy and the optimism/pessimism that is going around. Without high fidelity feedback, a remote worker may be totally mislead about certain issues, including his or her own performance. Hence the onus is always on the remote worker to stay in deep contact with her or his peers. And companies that allow remote working should also make this explicit. Will be interesting to read how 37signals works around these issues.
