      Great Place to work and a great place to learn! (Non-Dev review)

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work alongside incredibly talented industry veterans from around the world. - Treated with the same level of respect regardless of your internal rank or title. - Everyone, again regardless of rank, has the same ability to push through organisational reform and change. - Represent a product and company that the market is genuinely excited to learn more about.

      Cons

      - Sometimes easy to forget to switch off from work in the evenings. - Sales & marketing need to be better aligned. Progress is being made but there is still room for improvement.

      Hello! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about working with GitLab, I am so glad to hear that it’s been going well. Especially when working remotely for the first time, I completely agree that it can be tricky to close the computer and truly turn off at the end of the day, but it is so important for preventing burnout! Please feel free to lean on more senior team members for tips on how they manage this! You can also refer to our article on recognizing burnout! https://about.gitlab.com/2018/03/08/preventing-burnout/ - Barbie Brewer, Chief Culture Officer
