Pros

-The ability to work anywhere asynchronously with your co-workers. The new found freedom gained with your loved ones and or family is life changing. -Working with highly motivated and highly intelligent individuals. With the company's core values, everyone is expected to be engaged for our and our clients betterment. -GitLab is an amazing product for DevOps and DevSecOps. There aren't any places you will work where you get credibility from industry peers by name alone.

Cons

-The company requires highly motivated self-starters. Due to the nature of a remotely distributed company with asynchronous work, you will need be scrappy at collecting data and good at your own project management. -While GitLab does a fantastic job of creating social events to kindle relationships between peers, it obviously will never have the same kind of social environment as an in-person employer.

Thank you for your review. We are thrilled that you’ve had such an amazing experience working at GitLab and with the product! We agree that being a fully remote team definitely has its benefits and challenges, so we recommend all team members or anyone interested about 100% remote to read our Remote Playbook linked here: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
