> FB and other big tier 1 companies when they started to hire remotely

All of the big tier 1 companies have serious strings attached for remote work. I've interviewed at several in the last year or two, and they all advertised remote work but also had weird requirements like "must be within 150 miles of an office" and "for certain positions" and "based on seniority."

Perhaps the reason they are struggling to hire remote employees is linked to the fact that they have poor remote culture AND dubious support for remote employees in the future.



Why do you think they have these restrictions? One word: Collaboration.
