Red Hat is about 50% remote, and was plenty profitable before being acquired by IBM last year.

Edit: And is still profitable now. It sounds like I was saying it was only profitable before being acquired :-)

Is the acquisition affecting the number of remote positions Red Hat have?

Red Hat working is more remote than you'd think from the pure numbers, since even if you're working in an office your team won't all be in the same office. The team I'm in has people working in offices in CZ, around the US, the UK, Australia, and in China. So we work using remote tools anyway.
