I think it's very rare, I've worked at Google for 8 years and I've met maybe 1 person who works from home on a somewhat regular basis.

Observer bias arguably. If they are working from home, rather hard to meet them.

Also varies a lot by PA. Chrome is very friendly to remote work, because they're an open-source project with a lot of non-Google contributors anyway. Android or Search, not so much. Research, infrastructure, geo, and core - decent. Don't know too much about the other PAs.

A lot of the people I mentioned above actually transferred PAs to make remote work work. If that's a goal of yours, Google's a big enough company that there's probably a role available.

How? You'd still have meetings with them.

The problem is that you need a VP exception for remote work and many VPs don't believe in it at all. So there are entire orgs where the number of remote people is zero.
