Re: Ask HN: Which companies are hiring in-person teams?
#22If anyone is based in Houston and looking for an optional in-person environment, my startup apmhelp.com (we help property managers scale their business) has space and will continue to grow at the Ion office in midtown.
We're hiring accountants, folks with consulting exp, engineers, and RE/Property management exp.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
unless you have applied to go full remote. but don't let facts get in the way of a good ideological flame war.
They’ve also declined over 10% of the applications to go full remote. So, just because you apply doesn’t mean you will get it
90% approval sounds pretty good unless you’re in the 10% that has to switch companies to stay remote. I'd take those odds!

#24My company, Antithesis, is building a fully in-person team. We have worked on hard projects before -- we built FoundationDB -- and this is the model that we found works for complex, audacious projects. Working closely on design at a whiteboard or coding as a pair is just far more rewarding in person. And in order to grow fast we need high bandwidth, low latency knowledge transfer options. Again, that's also just clearly more feasible in-person. And, of course, there's the great chance to increase team trust and cohesion through chance conversations and occasional lunches together. What we're working on now is both more complex and more audacious that FoundationDB: therefore we are all together in the office.
It's true that there are some downsides from the company's perspective: we have a smaller pool of talent to pull from and the office environment can be interrupt prone. Both, however, we think are more than offset by the upsides.
We're located in Northern VA and growing! Check out a list of jobs at https://antithesis.breezy.hr/ or, if you love building complex things and are great to work with, just shoot us a message at jobs@antithesis.com.

#25My employer, Notion Labs Inc, has open offices in San Francisco, New York, Dublin, Hyderabad and Tokyo, and plans to do Monday/Thursday in-person starting in a few months. We make a notes/wiki/tasks/organizer product that competes with Quip/Dropbox Paper/Trello/Airtable. Our engineering team culture is thoughtful, introspective, and a little bit scrappy. We’re tackling interesting challenges in these domains: a very…
Are you concerned about having so much overhead for such a small company?
That’s a lot of expensive offices. I get that venture money is cheap right now, but with upcoming tightening there’s reason to suspect future funding rounds might not be so easy. Are you going to be stuck in a place where you have to chase hypergrowth even when it doesn’t make sense for the business?
Notion is a fine product, but there is a lot of competition (little or no pricing power) and little to no network effect (it is very easy to switch to other providers).
What are the 400 other people doing? Sales?

#26Check out https://stytch.com - we’re hybrid, but the SF and NYC offices have people in just about every day. I usually go in twice a week and it’s been great for in-person collaboration.

#27We felt the same way. This Paul Graham quote is funny “If Zoom were the default and someone just invented face to face, it would seem like an amazing step forward.”
We’re growing our team and are in person in SF if you’re interested: nader at brev.dev
Re: Ask HN: Which companies are hiring in-person teams?
#28A little out of topic. We (dyvenia) are not in SF but we hire only hybrid roles in Krakow with min 2 days of office work. While this might not help you, I just wanted to say that to us full remote doesn't work, especially in a time where senior skills are lacking and we hire people at the beginning of their carriers. We do a lot of training internally to bring people up to speed. I think the 100% remote dynamic, whic…
I disagree. I find mentoring weaker team members much easier over remote. They are not crammed into my cube trying to take notes, we can cut and paste back and forth, we can talk without disturbing the rest of the office. I don't see the issues people keep insinuating.
Do they find it easier as well?

Nothing against your company (I'm definitely looking to fully WFH in the next 2 years minimum) but to the OP's point, all your job openings have a remote option.
All you need is 1 remote person on the team, or a business partner that works closely with the team, to all meetings being compulsory on Zoom anyways
OP isn't just looking for a company that has an office they can go to, but a company that forces everyone in person, which I believe will be very hard to find this year
