10 Well-Known Companies That Hire Remote Workers

Working from home is much more commonplace nowadays than it was ten years ago.

When I first started researching work at home job opportunities (probably about fourteen years ago), I had a lot of trouble finding anything through a basic Google search that didn’t lead me straight toward a scammy-looking website.

Thank goodness that’s no longer true!

Even so, many people still feel uneasy about the idea of working from home and worry that they may be taken in by a scam every time they apply for an online position — especially if it’s a company they’ve never heard of before.

So, I decided to create a list of 10 well-known companies that hire remote workers. These are companies that you and probably everyone else have heard of, but you may not have realized they offer work from home positions!

These are major companies and corporations — household names. If you are paranoid about scams and feel “safer” applying to work from home for a company that you know about rather than one that’s new to you, this list may be a good starting point:
