Pros

Remote company culture. People are mostly great. GitLab is still beloved in the community.

Cons

Direction and competency has sharply dropped. Heading more and more towards micro-management territory.

Pros

- highly communicative during interview process- straight-forward and clear way of preparing - remote-first culture- allows you to structure your day around commitments - growth phase of company allows you to part-take in new initiatives and see them become something bigger

Cons

- onboarding is a lot of information all at once so can be overwhelming - still growing so role responsibilities and expectations change regularly

Pros

Incredible colleagues, flexible remote work, and a strong product that genuinely helps teams. The open-source mission is inspiring, and day-to-day collaboration with peers can be energizing when management stays out of the way.

Cons

Management culture is toxic and deeply misaligned with the company’s stated values. Gaslighting, favoritism, and lack of psychological safety are common but ignored. Promotions and recognition depend on self-promotion and politics rather than impact or skill. HR protects managers, not employees. Burnout is normalized, and feedback is often weaponized instead of used for growth. The “handbook-first” transparency ends where accountability should begin.
