[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a huge fan  of telecommuting, too little opportunity for the impromptu collaboration that goes on in the office.  I think it's telling that people who say they need iit talk almost entirely of the benefit to their personal life, not the quality of their work..

Op, if it is truly a deal breaker for you, ask at the interview.  Be aware some  employers may find the question disqualifying as it makes you liook like you are lazy.[/quote]

But do you need impromptu collaboration every day?

You also must not work in an open floor plan office. I get MUCH more done on days at home, which is why when my company scaled back their physical space and got rid of offices to maximize space, they also introduced a very generous telecommuting policy.

Also, much of my team is in other parts of the country. My two main projects right now involve two different colleagues from NYC. I'm in the DC area - doesn't matter if I come in the office or not, we are collaborating by phone, email, and IM.
