Very interesting insights.
I wonder how rare such a large, successful, 100% distributed workforce company is?

Obviously Automatic has done something right ... but could their success be increased with some part of their workforce being 'in an office' together? Of course we'd have to agree to what 'success' means first.

Perhaps it's just that I've worked from home for over 6 years with a small 100% remote team, and I've forgotten about office drama and politics, but to me there is no replacing the energy exchange and creativity that comes from being in a room with live people.
