Background

Fully remote companies are companies that do not have a physical office where employees work and may have a mailbox as their headquarter. Their workers have the option of either telecommuting or working from somewhere else. Many fully remote companies employ workers in numerous time zones.
Benefits of being fully remote are: no longer having to pay rent, the ability to expand quickly, and no longer being constrained by location when hiring employees. A downside is that being physically together could help employees better communicate and come up with ideas. Another downside is that employees may feel secluded from their coworkers whom they do not see in person. This could cause them not to have compassion for each other. To build a sense of community, fully remote companies have held frequent meetups and retreats that last a week. Companies participating in the fully remote experience include those in the technology, e-commerce, and e-learning sectors. There are about 100 fully remote companies that employ 10 or more people. GitLab, a fully remote company that employees 1,100 people based in over 60 countries, is one of the largest all-remote companies.
