The hot takeJeff's read on Oscilar
They clearly state "work from anywhere" twice on their careers pages, their open opportunities that allow you to work from anywhere are clearly marked, and they have strong Glassdoor reviews (albeit a small sample). What I would LOVE to see is a careers page that talks more about why someone should apply to work with the company and less about themselves. Companies need to remember that they aren't selling their product or values, they are selling you on why you should work there.
