It is becoming more common to work remotely..

And all companies are shifting their workforce to a hybrid or fully remote type rather than an on-site workforce. The pandemic highlighted this phenomenon in new ways, with a series of studies revealing that 4.7 million Americans work from their homes from 2021, compared to 3.9 million in 2015.

Fortunately for a job seeker, you will find plenty of companies willing to hire you as a remote worker, and unlike companies that may use a hybrid basis where you will appear in person for certain events, the ones we will discuss are fully remote. That means that everything, including your home office, attending meetings, or going to company events, is remote.

What you should know concerning fully remote companies

Before discussing them, there are some you should know:

• They are not based everywhere. They mainly choose to stay in a specific continent, country, state, or time zone. The only difference is their lack of a dedicated office for their workforce to operate in.
• You may also hear of distributed companies. They are the types that can be partially or fully remote, depending on the setup the company heads agree to. Unlike many fully remote or some partially remote companies, they are spread out across different time zones.

Best fully remote companies to work for

GitBook

The company offers a platform for modern communication for businesses and teams, where you can document all you find out from APIs and internal knowledge bases as well as products. They will be a good employer if you are based in the EU, regardless of the specific time zone you live in.

It is also easy to know the whole workforce, as they are quite few but very active in their connections; they even host a welcoming party for their new employees. Some of the perks they offer their workforce are giving you a dedicated budget for setting up a home office and co-working space, offsite meetings with the team quarterly, and 5-week paid vacations, which include bank holidays.

Close

If you like the idea of assisting businesses to make revenue from their leads, you may enjoy working for Close. They have a workforce of at least 40 people across Europe and the US, spread out across 12 countries.

They offer interesting perks to their employees, including 2 team retreats that happen annually, a co-working stipend of $200 monthly, and very flexible working hours that focus on your productivity rather than the number of hours you work.

Atlassian

This is among the unique tech giants that recently allowed employees to choose remote working setups if they wished to, or opt for the partial remote working method. They are famous for their global collaboration tools like Trello and Jira.

They offer unique advantages when you work for them. These include a paid leave of 5 days for volunteering reasons, annual budgets for your education if you want to grow and develop your skills, and giving you a dedicated budget to create a home office setup or co-working space.

This company mainly handles productivity software, which includes two of their representative products: Twist and Todoist. Their workforce is spread out across 51 cities, and they offer perks such as no core working hours (as long as you work at least 40 hours weekly), allowing new parents to bring their child and partner to company retreats, and allowing you to choose a co-working office.

Frontastic

This platform is a cloud-style platform that allows startup teams, brands, online retailers, and marketplaces to make a mobile-first user experience, even with minimal IT effort. The workforce is multi-lingual, as they speak 13 languages in total and are more than 30 people.

Due to their fully remote status, their social media accounts are very active and they use an asynchronous-first style of communication to connect to their audiences. They also offer all employees a five-day paid retreat, three times a year, to allow you to relax and be more productive.

GoDaddy

Many people know GoDaddy due to their business in web domain sales, but they also offer online marketing, website building, and web hosting. They are the biggest company on this list, with more than 9,000 employees scattered across 47 locations -- with a workforce like this, some are needed in the office, while others are allowed to work on a fully remote basis.

Their priority is allowing employees to have a flexible schedule to account for new parents, as they allow you to bring your child or pet dogs to designated premises. They also aim to revamp their hiring process for a global workforce.

This is not the full list, as there are many more. You can explore more options, and get a remote employer you will enjoy working for.
