Hi All- Just revisiting this post as a lot has changed since my initial post. We have found that corporations are definitely interested in the idea of providing flexible options for their employees (for both recruiting and retaining employees). We've had Unum (a large insurance company) join in the past year for one of their departments as a sort of R+D project. Basically, they want to be more in the know about mid-level developers. After having worked in the space for 3 months or so, they've had a couple of different conversations with freelancers that they wouldn't have met otherwise. This also shows their ability as a company to relate and let people know you don't have to work in a cubicle filled office to be a part of their team.
That said, this idea of Unum joining came after they hired one of previous members who went to work there and proposed the idea because he was so energized by our community. I would say that if you can build relationships within a company, that's going to be your best asset. That employee can sell the product better than you can in most cases.
