Google is a giant company. Thriving on the web, it's no stranger to employees working in remote places.

The company has nearly 100,000 workers spread over 150 cities in more than 50 countries on five continents. In its quest to create the perfect remote team, researchers at the company spent two years studying more than 5,000 employees for solutions.
