      An incredible place to work, fully remote, growing, and an exciting product to work on!

      Pros

      - Fully remote (the obvious first pro) - The company supports you working in the way you do best. - Your performance is measured in results, not hours at your computer. - Nearly everything about the company is open source, or written and documented, or recorded and on YouTube, or broadcasted on a live stream. It is truly an open company. - Your colleagues are *people*, not resources, and the handbook emphasizes that. - Speaking of the handbook, it's great and publicly available online. - The first week of on-boarding tasks are really well thought out and helps new employees acclimate to the GitLab ways of working. - I've personally noticed very little to no interruptions during the day, and every day has felt very balanced with productivity, company calls, and coffee chats/social calls.

      Cons

      - You might opt in to join a company call outside of your typical domain and be exposed to terminology/acronyms you're unfamiliar with. It's not much of a con as it is a learning opportunity! But it might be difficult at first to understand what is going on if you don't ask what something means or do a bit of research.

      First days but so far what an amazing onboarding

      Pros

      The company and your colleagues take care of your soft landing into the company (and the remote work) with simple things like: * Calls with your manager and the onboarding buddy. * Breakout calls * A self-explained and step by step onboarding (using GitLab). * And everything is documented, so you can learn at your own pace.

      Cons

      Partially doing single sign on, which implies a lot of work to setup online accounts on your first days.
