From 2 person Company that worked on the other side of the Globe, to a 30+ company, thats spread across, BigBinary has grown gradually.

Since its completely remote as well as Service based, it has its own unique way of growing, and adheres to its own set of problems.

There are things ranging from, how do you hire, when do you hire? To how does your client get comfortable with your Company being remote.

As a team that can hire remotely, and pay good salary, does salary even account for a person to

join the company, when there is a looming reality that, there is NO Office, to this Company.

This is further exaggerated in an employer market like India, which is still fairly conservative.

Or does a better work-life balance, no time wasted on commute, and being able to spend more time with Family, trump these concerns?

Then, when new developers do join, how do you make sure that you are working in a sync,

as a team. Following the same Code conventions. Following the same process that has been in place

to ensure faster and better delivery.

Since its remote, a 9-5 timeline is not a realistic or expected commitment. When should people work?

Does everyone need to be online and work at the same time? Not everyone is going to work on the same project or team.

Does this apply to such teams in that case?

How does the Company manage projects. Does it micro-manage the Developers? Because lets face it,

you are not sitting next to the person as in a office, you are not witnessing how the developers work.

How do you measure and build trust, in such a setup.

How do you bring a developer up to speed, with exciting conventions and processes your company uses.

Things that are going to be alien to them.

How do you pick concepts from the best, and then move forward as single team, functioning as a single unit,

instead of a bunch of freelancers scattered around.

Lets discuss, some unique set of problems Remote Consulting teams face, and how to make most of it.
