The top 100 companies chosen offer more remote-friendly positions than any others, meaning offering either 100% remote work, partial remote work or having the option for remote work. According to FlexJobs, there has been growth in both the sheer volume of remote job listings and the variety of remote job titles since the list was last published in 2019.
