Awesome. And then your team is located in Beijing, Nuremberg, Prague or wherever and you're to come to a different office for no reason whatsoever. Then you spend your whole day at the office communicating over IRC or mail for the sole reason of having your ass in an office chair.

I was told that it is indeed company policy to have employees in the office. There are only very few remote workers, and new hires are relocated to the next office location, with very few exceptions. Once there, one can basically forget about working remotely, because telecommuting is "only an exception under special circumstances".

> REMOTE OK

This is one big lie, company policy is to bring people to the office.

Beware! They will ask you to "test" their infrastructure. This will cost you some days and after that they'll just weed you out. You'll be abused as cheap beta tester!
