I've been a remote worker for almost 10 years. In fact, I hardly know what working in an office is like. I can say that remote working is not without its own set of challenges. Chief among them is the need for EXCELLENT communication skills. I've worked with supremely talented and previously successful teams that simply fall apart in a remote environment, because they don't understand the value of transparent communication. Working remotely, everyone relies almost entirely on the word of their coworkers, as its much more difficult for leaders/managers to get a feeling on their team. Like any successful team, it comes down to establishing trust. But with remote teams, there's much less margin for error.
