Is there a way to filter or find out which support remote work without manually going through them all?

Re: Best Startups to Work for in Stockholm
#12I am lucky enough to have lived and worked in tech in Stockholm for a little more than six years now. I originally moved here specifically for the game development industry and it is so nice to see it (along with tech companies in general) continue to grow and evolve here. As an employee there is a vast array of employer options and coupled with the work-life balance for me it's pretty much the perfect place to live and work (if one can handle the winter, of course).

#13I apologize for this self-serving comment, but I consider it at least potentially relevant for anyone who reads this thread:
I'm publishing a weekly curated newsletter about the Swedish tech scene: http://swedishtechweekly.com
Brief and straight to the point. Spend 3 minutes a week and you know everything that's going on in tech Sweden.

#14How hard would it be for a non-eu citizen to get a working visa in Sweden?

#15I've often read that Stockholm, and Sweden in general, has great work-life balance. This list seems super cool for folks who may be interested in (what I've heard is) a more relaxed lifestyle while keeping some work excitement in their lives from a startup environment. It's really interesting to see how successful Sweden has been in pushing itself as a good home for startups. Also, is the logo on this site messed up?…
The work-life balance might be lagom. ;)

It looks like the SVG has just been exported at a width much narrower than the text. If you inspect the SVG on the second link you posted, you can edit the `width` attribute to something like 200 and see the full text.
Normally, when exporting SVGs for the web, you would convert the text to shapes. That way, people don't need a version of the font you've used and you can guarantee it looking the same across browsers.

Nice. Have you worked anywhere else in Europe? How does it compare to Berlin? Are the salaries comparable with other major European cities? You say work life balance is great but I hear it can be expensive to live there. What's your experience? Is English widely spoken in offices or do people have to learn Swedish in order to work effectively?

You heard wrong. Sweden has one if the longest working weeks in the EU. Normal work day starts at 8am.
Most stuff that you read about Sweden (ie stuff that gets shared on socisl media) is false.

We're talking about startups on a website mostly for programmers, right?
Programmers enjoy nearly free work schedule. I've seen people come at work at 7 in the morning and leave at three in the evening. Or come to work at 10 and leave at 7.
Second, work-life balance is paramount in Sweden. No one will bat an eye if you have to pick your kids early from kindergarten/school, go to a doctor's appointment, take a day off because you're sick etc.
The government even tries to combat exploitative employers by making it mandatory that employees take at least 20 days of vacation a year.
