      Sales culture needs to change

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Transparent and inherently collaborative culture. All-remote.

      Cons

      Commercial sales culture and process needs to change. Classifying companies by number of employees is okay, but there needs to be a clear process in ensuring that AEs are closing deals what they are supposed to close, and not wasting time justifying working on deals that don't belong to them. For new AEs, there is no clear transition process and this leads to frustration and ineffectiveness.

      Talk the talk but don't walk the walk

      Strategic account leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some people here are great, but the huge expansion has meant the culture has been lost and isn't upheld due to the number of people leaving after quite a short tenure.

      Cons

      Sadly, the culture you're sold isn't what's the reality. There are some great people here, but they're a bit too few and far between to create a good, healthy work environment.

      Great place for work/life balance, not so much for career development or making money due to churn

      Pros

      1. Gitlab is an awesome place for work/life balance: fully remote but with FTF meetings at will, both with customers, partners and employees, really family oriented. 2. Great product that customers love. 3. Awesome sales growth.

      Cons

      1. The company prefers to hire new people instead of promoting from within, which leads to significant headcount churn. 2. Uncapped revenue churn at some levels in the sales organisation, which may not even be legal, amounting to significant penalties on the sellers who may have no control over the matter.
