I'm not in IT, but feel it's highly variable among tech companies and seems to go back and forth, even within companies.
Wasn't it Yahoo, 4 or 5 years ago, that didn't mind people working from home, then after a few years changed their mind and wanted everybody back in the office? Maybe it was a different tech company I'm thinking of.
Are you thinking of IBM and last year to switch back?
Working moms were allowed to bring their kids in and have a special area set up just for their child.
Oh, wait...that was just for the CEO...never mind.
Yeah, didn't she pretty much ax everyone else's remote work options once she had a kid and returned immediately to work in her large, spacious office with en suite bathroom and nursery?
Yeah.... we'd all take an office with those amenities.

When in doubt, check it out: FAQ
Do people who currently work at Amazon and Apple work from home? I know some tech companies are not into that. Most that I know of don't mind, but there are a few where it is definitely a go to the office culture. Does anybody know how it is in Apple and Amazon's other locations?
I also know folks who prefer to work in an office rather than from home.
I have a good friend who is a fairly senior manager at Apple in the Internet Software and Services division (e.g., iTunes, AppStore), and I've discussed this with her on a few occasions. Employees who work at headquarters in Cupertino are strongly discouraged from working at home, so I suspect it's the same for most office-based positions. As I recall, they do have some designated positions for remote workers, but they aren't very numerous.
