Remote work is all over the news right now. IBM’s pulling a Yahoo and forcing all their remote employees to plant themselves in offices or find new jobs. Apple is building a massive 5 billion dollar campus in Silicon Valley, and some are calling it a tone deaf mistake—talent wants flexibility, not a campus they never have to leave. The fact that this vast new campus has everything under the sun except a daycare doesn’t help.
Companies who want to reach the most talented employees know they come in all types, from all areas of the world. Apple and IBM are turning their backs on the talent living in Wyoming or Belarus, and on the working parents who need flexibility and childcare integrated into their workdays.
Here are some companies with their eyes towards the future. They’re all hiring remote developers right now.
