10 Companies That Give You the Flexibility You're Dreaming Of

employees in DigitalOcean's New York City office

For many job seekers, being able to make your own schedule or work remotely is more than just a cool perk: It grants much-needed flexibility for other areas in your life.

We get it. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of companies that understand not everyone can work in a 9-to-5 office setting. Each of them offer flexible hours, work-from-home options as needed, or the ability to work remotely—and make it work for everyone on the team.

Take Medidata, for example: Employees are equipped with all the technology they need to make work-from-home days an easy option, and—as long as things are getting done—no one is required to be online during certain hours. At DigitalOcean, which has a strong remote workforce, teams use tools like Google Hangouts and Slack integrations so employees are able to collaborate on a daily basis, regardless of where they are.

So if you’re looking for a job that will let you work from home once in a while—or all the time—these super-flexible companies are more than worth your time.
