I can't tell you which companies are "cool", but I can tell you which ones will not entertain(or do not understand or are generally shitty to work at) remote.

Also, there is a flawed understanding by some US companies where they classify "remote" as anywhere near their offices/city/state/USA (apparently the world is too big).

Avoid:

- Startups: Especially ones in tech-zones like Silicon Valley, NY, London, etc.

- Massive companies: Especially ones that are only starting to understand what remote-working is. There are exceptions, but generally, the AmaMicroOracIBMs of the world invest in buildings/offices and measure the lifetimes of those assets over decades

- Hack shops: Small companies that are involved in the Joomla/WordPress sphere. Generally, it's best to avoid these shops under all circumstances, as they are focused on the commodity side of development

That leaves you with a decent-enough spectrum.

I,ve been looking for remote jobs since 2013. I think it´s very hard to find a company with remote positions that fits perfectly a person. So for this reason I found a startup called watho (www.watho.net) We are focused on contacts between companies which have remote jobs available with the applicants from any part of the world.
