Pros

Amazing teammates who genuinely enjoy being part of the company’s success. Nice people disguises as executives who lead by example. One of my favorite memories was the CEO sharing a selfie of himself playing a video game in the middle of the work day because things had gotten too heavy with the pandemic, and he wanted us to feel comfortable taking a break

Cons

Things can get lost in translation, so don’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions if you’re not sure about something.

Pros

Being an all-remote company there is plenty of autonomy and flexibility to work in the way that's best for you. Leaders and most people at GitLab very much embrace the values which leads to a collaborative, transparent, results-oriented environment. People are encouraged to make contributions they think are important, even if it's outside of someone's scope of work.

Cons

Being an all-remote company there can often be a lot of written updates that need to be processed. It can be a little tough to keep up on everything that's happening.
