The purpose of this thesis is to study how remote working companies operate and analyse what kind of positive and negative aspects the method has. This study also discusses why remote working is a fast-growing trend especially in IT companies.
This project was carried out while working as UI/UX designer for five months in an IT remote company called MarsBased in Barcelona, Spain. The observations of this thesis are partly based on the author’s own experiences during the internship.
The result of this project is an analysis on why MarsBased can be said to be one of the best remote working companies in Spain. The results include two designs that the author of this study created while remote working for the company as well as the pros and cons of remote work. Based on this study it can be concluded the big impact that remote working has created in the professional and personal life of the employees in an IT company.
In future studies it would be interesting to analyse how remote working as a method affects employees’ personal and professional life in the long term. New techniques such as virtual reality enable remote working quite effectively. Most companies that have experimented with remote working will continue doing so.
