Similar setup.

My team and I have been remote for years.

We have channels on slack for non work stuff and we post memes, news, etc. We also have DM groups and just chat. We’ve got more people on the meme channels outside of the team. It’s a nice group. I even play games with some on my switch.

I’ve only been to the company 3 times split between 2 locations.

I’m looking to change teams soon. So advancement opportunities are there. Never met in person the manager, so it’s not that.

Based on my experience, I believe it depends on the company, team culture and the people. By team culture I mean more how the team is run. Some are run very competitive others more collaborative.
