Software company Globant SA’s sleek office in downtown Buenos Aires features open floor plans, curvy desks and sweeping views across the river to Uruguay. Employees can fire up the grill for some Argentine asado barbecue, play pingpong, hit the gym or even ride a mechanical bull.

But workers don’t have to be there. Globant chief executive officer Martin Migoya is choosing not to adopt a return-to-office policy for his nearly 30,000 employees across 33 countries, making the software giant one of the world’s largest tech companies by headcount to remain fully remote.
