5 Companies That Let You Work From Home

More and more companies are embracing this Work at Home Programmes and incorporating flex time and remote work arrangements into their culture, both for their longtime employees and their new hires.
So, if you’re looking for a gig that’ll let you work from home once in a while—or even all the time!—check out these Five companies, all hiring for all kinds of roles now.
1. TNTP

Where: New York
TNTP helps schools, districts, and states grow and hold on to great teachers and build systems that prioritize effective teaching in every classroom. Staff who don’t work from the small Brooklyn headquarters work in districts and home offices in over a hundred cities across the country. Many staff work from home—often with a pet curled up at their feet—while others are energized by the daily opportunity to work alongside teachers and school leaders in schools.
