I would love to work for an outfit like Pivotal. Unfortunately I live in Maine and I know they don't do remote. :( I'm feeling seriously burnt out at my current position as the culture seems to be predominantly "throw something against the wall." There seems to be little thought towards maintainability, testing, etc. so feels like I'm pushing a rock up the hill continually trying to provide suggestions in PRs, etc. If anyone knows of any well run consulting outfits that work with remote workers, practice pairing, TDD, and just all around "giving a shit" I'd welcome pointers. Thanks!

I'll second that. I find it really odd more consulting companies aren't remote given their clients almost always are anyway.

  Pivotal does pair-programming, which demands inflexible hours and intensive/stressful workload. Working remote is impossible as you cannot pair with another colleague.

    Sure you can. Maybe not quite so efficiently, but its far from impossible
