I've worked remotely for HP going on 4 years now, I'm based in Ireland with 2 other also remote team members. Our groups "HQ" is Seattle, so it's about as bad a timezone difference as possible while keeping at least 1hr crossover.

My manager is also in Seattle, along with our entire reporting chain being US based.

It's worked brilliantly. Our group is probably an outlier though, as we have people scattered all over world, and for most of my time here, we've been focused on open source projects like OpenStack and Cloud Foundry.

In short - yes, even mega corps can handle remote workers.
