It might be obvious to say, but this is really dependent on the culture of the company.

IME, if other engineers at the company (team members, managers) recognize your talent, they will give you a raise to keep you there, no matter whether you're remote or on-site. This is true for the simple fact that talented engineers tend to know they're talented, and when career advancement opportunities dissipate, they do not stick around long.

Anecdotally, my company has several remote staff engineers. They get raises and promotions like anybody else, and have been remote for multiple performance review cycles. Our company has an on-site bias, but not a particularly strong one. That being said, if your company is old (15+ years) and not eng-driven, YMMV.
