Sure thing! We hire primarily out of SF, NYC, and Seattle -- in-person has boosted our productivity and been a lot more fun for us! Transparently, we have made a few exceptions, and are not entirely opposed to more, but it's really the exception rather than the rule.

We are in-office 3 days a week, so there is some flexibility built in there, too.




Treating remote as the exception rather than the rule, or at least as a fully supported, equal labor force is the most common way I’ve seen companies get remote work wrong.


Retool: Thank you for your response.

irq: Agreed. It's just a roundabout way of saying they want everyone physically at work. Given that they're based in SF, and the real estate/rent is high and the need for a small group to boost downtown revenue, of course the investors will push for that since it benefits that group. Not having a clear remote only position for a 100% software company post pandemic is just not going to work for me, and there's no evidence that physically being together has any productivity gains.
