There are many other companies who have extended work from home until 2021, like Google, Indeed, and Amazon corporate. But the following three companies have made remote work part of their company culture. It's no longer the exception. It's the rule.
Does working from home for the foreseeable future sound appealing to you? Try applying for a job at one of these companies.
Shopify
File:Shopify Logo.png - Wikimedia CommonsShopify, a multinational e-commerce company, announced back in May that it would allow employees to work from home permanently. Chief Executive Officer of Shopify, Tobi Lutke, said, "Office centricity is over," in a tweet about the new policy.
For many of us, that statement is true. Some professionals may want to go back to the office eventually, full-time or for a few days a week. But if you don't have a burning desire to go back to the office after the COVID-19 pandemic runs its course, a career at Shopify could be something to consider.
The company employs over 5,000 workers, and is looking to hire for dozens of open positions.
Zillow
File:Zillowlogo color.PNG - Wikimedia CommonsZillow, the popular online real estate database company, recently announced that it would allow 90% of its employees to work from home indefinitely, despite resisting remote work in the past.
The change in tone is even more interesting when you look at their operating lease costs, which were over $29 million in 2019. Dan Spaulding, Zillow's chief people officer, acknowledges those spaces will be there for individuals to work and collaborate with team members once it is safe for them to do so, but it won't be necessary for every employee to return to those spaces. Ultimately, the value of office space is changing, too.

Square

Depending on their job, not every one of the 3,000 Square employees can work remotely. But the vast majority can and (probably) will continue to do so even after COVID-19 is no longer a threat.

Once Facebook and Twitter announced they would be allowing their employees to work from home permanently, these three companies followed suit. Their employees don't ever have to go back to the office. Sound like a dream? Maybe you'll find your dream job at one of them.
