7 Companies With Amazing Office Rotation Options

"When it's time for leavin', I hope you understand... that I was born a ramblin' man."  The Allman Brothers Band first sang these words back in 1973, but that doesn't mean they ring any less true today to those who find themselves consumed by wanderlust. Oftentimes, fulfilling your dreams of moving to a new city, state or even country means leaving your employer — but it doesn't have to. A handful of companies offer programs that allow employees to work out of, rotate between or even permanently transfer to offices across the country (and sometimes globe). Do you get restless after staying in one place for too long? Do you want to explore new cultures, grow your skills and build your career? Do you want to be gainfully employed at a great company while you do so? Then it's time for you to apply to one of these seven companies.
