> One tidbit: almost the whole company is remote (600 people!)

I'm intrigued. I was under the impression remote work was only feasible for smaller startups. The only fully distributed companies I know have < 30 employees.

I work for Canonical (www.canonical.com)

We have some offices and legal presence in some countries that require it, but most of the engineers are work-from-home only. My team is completely work-from-home, including manager, product manager, and QA engineers. We're 12 in 7 different countries and 3 continents (used to be 4 :) )

Only designers and some sales people have a hard requirement to be in the office, AFAIK.

EDIT: for the sake of my personal pride I updated the numbers of countries my team is distributed to. it was WRONG. I hate wrong! :)

From another thread, it seems automatic (300+ employees) is pretty big on remote workers as well:
