Pros

Benefits are great, non-linear work days.

Cons

Inconsistent management strategy. Silos in the sales org. Scaling as a company in response to growth has been shaky.

Pros

None. Working at gitlab was the worst experience I have ever had. Makes me want to puke just thinking of it.

Cons

No response from other colleagues on customer problems. Woke managers who have no idea how to manage. Company is failing and not profitable. Issues with 1000s of useless comments make it impossible to work
